About

It's very rewarding, as a therapist, to see people consistently make progress.I received counseling when I was very young and believe that helped change the course of my life. Now as an OCD specialist, I've been told that I have a warm personality, and can put people at ease.

I have OCD myself. I try to be very transparent with people and let them know as much as I can about the processes involved in OCD perpetuating itself. The more you know about it, the easier it is to motivate yourself to break that cycle.

Robert has helped me face my OCD in the past few months. When I started I didn’t know how different I could feel or how far I could come. He helped me understand what I was dealing with and guided me through the recovery process every step of the way. I am very thankful for him and where I am today.

When I first came to NOCD, I felt much uncertainty about what was to come. Opening up about OCD has never been easy, and I was only beginning to come to terms with the many ways my compulsions had negatively affected my life. It was challenging enough explaining OCD to my own friends and family. How was I to open up to a complete stranger? From the moment I met Robert, these doubts and fears were soon put to rest. Robert is knowledgeable in many various types of OCD. He shied away from nothing, and there seemed to be no challenge too great for him. From compulsive checking, obsessive worrying about contamination, imagining disturbing scenarios of being severely harmed or doing harm to others, compulsions with symmetry, even uncontrollable ticks brought on by anxiety (not typically seen as an OCD trait), Robert was willing to help with whatever I threw at him. He has the mindfulness of a monk, the empathy of a best friend, and the patience of a professional caregiver. He is careful to not make you too uncomfortable and is open to any questions or concerns you might have. These traits were consistent in every session that I had with him. Even the few times when he did not know an answer to a certain question, he always found the answer and presented it in another session. Thanks to him, I now have the tools needed to continue improving like never before. In short, I could not have asked for a better therapist.

Robert helped me get to a point where I finally felt free from my thoughts after battling with this thing for 2 years. I just finished my last session with him and with the tools that he's given me to practice and maintain I'm excited to live my life again. I can't thank you enough man 🙏🏿

My counselor showed compassion and understanding when I presented exhausted and just recovering from a physical illness, and suggested cutting our visit down to 30 minutes from 45 mintes, which I readily agreed to do.

Rob helped me with some fears that paralyzed me from being able to get around in my life and that’s been helping me enjoy and help bring ease to my life further.

I've struggled with OCD my whole life and have tried traditional therapy off and on. Medication helped mask the symptoms but it would still get really bad. My APRN suggested this website and I finally decided I had to try it. Opening up was the hardest part, but my therapist Robert made me feel comfortable enough to share my most guarded thoughts. After only a few weeks I started to get better, and now I'm finished only a few months later! I wish I would've done this treatment years ago, but I'm so glad that I finally did.

Robert was awesome! I've had a couple of different therapists on my journey and Robert was exceptionally awesome. Compassionate, encouraging and engaging. He met me where I was at intake and coached me to where I needed to be. When I would slip up, he encouraged me with care to get back on track. The NOCD program is awesome, affordable and convenient. Thanks!

Robert is very knowledgeable and seems to care greatly about patient success. He has taught me a multitude of techniques that have helped me gain perspective and make progress with my OCD over the past several months.

I had worked my way into anxious thinking and repetitive thoughts about certain situations that would cause me to outright avoid going in public or around people. I stayed exhausted and stressed out daily. The exposure treatments helped me to see things differently and I have pulled myself out of a several year rut that was ruining my life and my ability to press forward. I am no longer a prisoner to my thoughts and am now living my life again. This is great program and I recommend to anyone struggling with the symptoms of OCD.

I made the decision to start therapy a few months ago and I am so happy I did! Robert was great at helping me feel comfortable and did amazing at explaining OCD in great detail. I feel educated and empowered with the tools I now have at my disposal. Our exposure and response sessions were by far the most helpful! I am now learning to live inquisitively so I am not powering up my OCD. Thank you!!!!

Robert is very patient with my son and helps him get his thoughts out of his head so we can work toward better expressions of his OCD and feelings.

My only regret is not starting therapy sooner. before I started, OCD controlled my life, and I even missed my first session because of nerves, but Robert was very understanding and I never felt any judgment from him, which was my biggest fear. I know it's cheesy but this program changed my life and I'm so glad I got help. You don't need to be alone and no matter what thoughts you've had I am certain they have been had by many others as well

My therapist understood exactly what I was saying and described. I felt heard for probably the first time ever it seemed. His description of what is going on with my thoughts brought me a sense of peace. I could relate to his description and look forward to taking this head on.

I've seen Robert for about 7 months and the difference our sessions have made is night and day. I think one of the strengths Robert has is he's able to truly empathize with his patients having OCD himself. Robert was able to give me practical tools to allow me to push back against my OCD.

Feb 06, 2023

When I came to Robert back in August of 2022, I was in a very bad place with my OCD. I was terrified daily and had missed a week of work recently before due to an episode. Robert helped properly diagnose me, and put a name to the monster I was dealing with. There were times during ERP where I walked away nauseas because of the intensity of the thoughts I was dealing with, but today I terminated treatment after stepping back to monthly visits for the last two months. I almost forgot about my visit today because that’s how confident I feel about managing my OCD now. Robert is extremely professional, and understanding but never reassures you, just like he is supposed to! He has OCD himself as you will see here on his profile, so he’s coming from a shared experience and that’s extremely comforting. My life if forever changed because of him and I couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you, Robert!

My experience with NOCD was amazing all the way around! The technology/app is very user friendly. My therapist (Robert) was extremely knowledgable concerning OCD and stress it causes. I not only felt he understood OCD clinically but also that he could relate personally. He was gracious, yet straightforward concerning my particular OCD challenges and what I needed to incorporate into my life so that OCD no longer controlled my life.

Robert has been the best therapist I could have asked for. It has been already 10 months since we started therapy for a Pure-O kind of OCD and I can happily say that it has declined tremendously to almost being non-existent after really hard work with ERP and an insightful guide from him. I want to thank Robert and NOCD for providing support for the draining condition that OCD can be when it is extremely difficult to find it somewhere else. Appreciate your help from the bottom of my heart, Robert!!!!!
