• Exploring feelings of possible burnout experienced by either or both parties and how these feelings affect the health of the relationship
• Exploring issues around separation or divorce that either party may be considering
• Exploring possible ways to strengthen the trust and intimacy between the parties

Couples: A Studied, Compassionate Approach to Therapy

I hold advanced training in individual and couples therapy, with years of experience supporting people through all kinds of challenges. My practice is informed by evidence-based methods, a commitment to ongoing professional development, and a deep belief in your capacity to change.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients and concerns, from chronic anxiety to relationship distress to identity questions. I strive to make therapy a space where you feel grounded, respected, and empowered.

Whether you’ve had therapy before or this is your first time, I’ll meet you with care and clarity.

What You Can Expect From Therapy

Counseling gives you the time and space to reflect, explore, and work toward meaningful goals. You’ll find that sessions are collaborative. We work together to identify patterns, gain insight, and develop strategies that help you move forward. I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and offer perspective when needed. Therapy is a conversation, not a prescription. You set the pace.

Together, we’ll work toward making sense of your experience, strengthening your emotional awareness, and developing tools that help you navigate life’s ups and downs with more confidence. We might work on managing anxiety, improving boundaries, processing grief, or understanding how early experiences shape current behaviors.

No matter the focus, I provide thoughtful guidance and grounded support every step of the way.

Why Choose Virtual Therapy?

Virtual therapy offers convenience, flexibility, and accessibility—there are no commutes, no waiting rooms, and no geographical barriers. For those in challenging circumstances, the idea of travelling to therapy can be a significant hurdle. Virtual sessions take this pressure off, allowing you the comfort and ease of getting help from your own space. It's also ideal for busy schedules, individuals with mobility challenges, or those in remote areas.

With secure platforms, virtual therapy delivers the same quality of care as in-person sessions, allowing you to prioritize your mental well-being without disrupting your routine.

Learn About Robin Bryant's Specialization with ADHD

One of my specialties with couples is to help them work with the features of the diagnosis of ADHD, which one or both parties could be suffering from. Some couples come to me not knowing about ADHD or if either of them actually have that diagnosis. Whether or not the diagnosis has been established by other health professionals or during early education in the school system, it is quite possible that one person demonstrates ADHD-like symptoms that cause difficulty in the relationship.

ADHD is understood to be an imbalance of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Recent research suggests that serotonin may also play a role.

ADHD impacts 6% of the US adult population. If one party of a couple has features of this disorder it does not have to be disruptive to a relationship as long as he or she is aware of their symptoms and understands that these can be a hardship on their partner.

Men are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD but many women also have it. Women who have it have often learned to cope with it in various ways which has disguised it and therefore are untreated for it. ADHD is sometimes referred to as a "neurodivergent" disorder since the brains and nervous systems of these people actually work very differently than for those who don't have it.

If you were diagnosed with ADHD as a child, your symptoms might have changed as you entered adulthood. You may find yourself more distracted versus the more hyperactive signs of childhood ADHD.

Below I have listed some common indicators of the inattentive type of this disorder.

Inattention, such as having difficulty paying attention, keeping on task, or staying organized. These people often fail to pay close attention to details and can make frequent errors at work. They have trouble listening when spoken to and they often forget what is said to them. They can lose important items like their phone, keys or wallet.

People who suffer from the hyperactive type of ADHD suffer from different types of symptoms as described below.

They tend to be hyperactive and are often moving around (including during inappropriate times), feeling restless, or talking excessively.

They can be impulsive causing them to frequently interrupt others, over share information or intrude on others. They often have trouble waiting their turn.

Some people have a combination of the two types of ADHD.
