About Robbye
Robbye brings a unique blend of life experience and professional expertise to her role as a psychotherapist at Restorative Strategies. With previous careers in marketing communications and college counseling, she made the intentional choice to pursue her MSW after discovering her passion for helping others recognize their strengths and navigate life’s challenges.
As a Certified Parent Educator and mother of three young adults as well as a grandmother, Robbye brings both professional insight and personal understanding to her work with clients. Her areas of expertise include life and career transitions, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, grief/loss, childhood trauma, and ADHD. Robbye’s approach is rooted in encouragement, communication, and connection, helping clients develop healthy coping skills while breaking free from old patterns that no longer serve them.
Professional Experience
Robbye entered the mental health field in 2022, building upon her experience in college counseling and parent education. Her unique professional journey through marketing communications and education enriches her therapeutic approach, allowing her to combine practical problem-solving skills with deep emotional understanding.
Outside the Office
When she’s not in session, Robbye maintains an active lifestyle that includes paddleboarding, pickleball, and fitness classes. She enjoys attending sporting events and live music performances, and is on a mission to visit all 50 states (just three to go!). Family time is especially precious to her, and she’s looking forward to becoming a grandmother in March 2025. Fun fact: Robbye is her real name; named after her paternal grandmother, though it has led to many interesting moments of creative misspellings over the years.
