Resources for Missionaries

Help for missionaries, returned missionaries, and the people who love them.

Did you struggle during your mission?

Maybe you started to have intense feelings that nothing you did was good enough or felt like you were constantly going to your mission leaders about things your parents or companion said were no big deal.

You may have seen the mission therapist but just talking about the cycle of obsessive thoughts you felt trapped in didn’t help. Now you’re home. You hoped the thoughts would go away when you left the mission field, but you’re still bothered by intrusive thoughts that you aren’t worthy or aren’t good enough.

You’re worried you might have scrupulosity and wonder if there’s anything that can help.

Specialized treatment for LDS missionaries can help you feel like yourself again.

I have extensive experience working with recently returned missionaries and their families. I understand how complicated and challenging it can be to return home from a mission earlier than expect or to suddenly find yourself on a service mission when that was not your original plan. I combine my deep knowledge of evidence-based treatments for scrupulosity and related forms of OCD with my familiarity with and appreciation for our faith’s call to missionary service to provide effective treatment that will help you learn to manage your anxiety and get back to your life.

Consults for Parents

I understand how hard it can be to watch your child struggle on their mission. You may feel confused because you want to support your young adult child, but they call you constantly asking for reassurance about things that don’t seem like a big deal. You tell your child that they are a great person and you love them, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

There is hope though. With the right treatment, young adults can learn how to manage their OCD, find peace in their lives, and pursue their dreams post-mission.

I specialize in providing the gold standard of evidence-based treatment for OCD and have extensive, specialized experience working with recently returned missionaries and their families.

If you believe your child might be suffering from scrupulosity, please reach out to schedule a free consultation today.
