Is Your Child’s Anxiety Affecting Your Family?

  • Does your child often feel overwhelmed or anxious in social situations or at school?
  • Do they freeze up or seek constant reassurance when faced with challenges?
  • Are you unsure how to support them when their usual coping methods aren't enough?
  • Has anxiety impacted their happiness, academic performance, or ability to enjoy life?

As a parent, seeing your child struggle with anxiety can be heartbreaking. You want to help, but sometimes it's hard to know the right approach. This can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and even tension within the family.

Your Child’s Confidence and Well-Being Are Within Reach

I can help parents and children work together to overcome anxiety. My approach centers on empowering you, the parent, to become a coach for your child’s emotional well-being, so they can build resilience that lasts a lifetime.

 

Here’s what I will help you and your child achieve:

  • Practical Tools for Children: I’ll teach your child techniques to manage anxious feelings and develop confidence.
  • Parent Coaching: You’ll learn how to respond to your child’s anxiety in ways that promote growth and independence.
  • Understanding Anxiety: I’ll guide you both in understanding the root causes of anxiety and how to address them together.
  • Real-Life Application: Together, we’ll develop strategies to handle daily challenges such as school stress, social situations, and bedtime fears.

Imagine your child feeling more confident and capable, equipped with tools to manage their anxiety.
