Narrative of Services:

My practice focuses solely on the treatment of OCD and related disorders. I treat patients across the lifespan beginning at age 6. I offer sessions through a secure video conferencing system, so Idaho residents across the state can access effective care. Sessions are conducted in the comfort of your home and can diminish the cost and time of driving to appointments. Feel free to contact me for a no-cost 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your needs or the needs of your child.
