Narrative of Services:

In my current private practice at least 50 % of my patients are children and adolescents with anxiety disorders and at any given time I have roughly 5 pediatric patients with OCD, both obsessive type (including scrupulosity and unwanted sexual and violent thoughts) and compulsive type. I often am referred patients by primary doctors who have heard the patient’s symptoms for the first time so I provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning using evidenced based assessment tools and treatment protocols. I also work actively with parents and families to address accommodation and for psycho-education.
