Hey there!
it's me...Robyn
I've always wanted to work with the kids that left everyone else baffled, confused, and ready to give up. I left grad school equipped with a couple play therapy books, a dollhouse, and a lot of enthusiasm.
A black eye and some bite marks later, I realized that I actually had no idea what I was doing. This left me feeling ineffective, like a fraud, and a bit of a failure.
Then I discovered Dan Siegel and Interpersonal Neurobiology.
Everything changed.
I never saw my clients' behaviors the same.
My little office in Austin, TX became the place where parents brought their kids after having gone to four- or what they described as a million- other therapists.
Why? Well- I'm so glad you asked!
My office welcomed the kids with the biggest, most baffling behaviors (and often, the most tragic histories) because I:
1. Understand the science of safety- and behavior. These children make perfect sense to me.
2. Developed a deep tool box full of tools. And they actually work because I understand the science of safety. And behavior.
3. Am fiercely committed to welcoming all parts- of my clients and myself.
4. Practice self-compassion like it's my job. Because- it is.
I can't teach you all of this in four days, but I can absolutely create the spark where revolutions are born.
And you're invited!

I know you have Qs!
Is this training going to stress me out more than I already am? I don't have a lot of free time!
Nope! I don't have a lot of free time either, so we are going to maximize the time we do have, take out all the fluff, and just get straight to the point. If you participate in all five days of the (FREE) training you will take away more than you put in- promise.
Where is this training held?
In your earbuds! All the juicy content will be hand-delivered in whatever podcast app you already use. This is an audio-only training that you can access while you are driving, walking the dog, showering (yes, I listen to podcasts in the shower), exercising, or just lounging in your favorite purple chair. (OK, it doesn't have to be purple but my lounging chair is purple and that's exactly what it's called in my house. "My purple chair.")
I'm not a therapist- is this for me?
Yes! Absolutely! This free training is for anyone who works with and supports the families of kids with big, baffling behaviors.
