Empower Your Parenting Journey with Expert Guidance and Support
Imagine a Brighter Path for Your Child

What if you could make a significant difference in your child’s anxiety?

 

It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when trying to support your child through their anxiety. The constant worry, the struggles with daily routines, and the impact on family life can be incredibly challenging. But here’s the good news: there is hope, and it starts with you.

 

Whether you suspect your child has anxiety, OCD or selective mutism - or you’ve had it confirmed with a diagnosis - you’re in the right spot.

 

Does This Sound Familiar?

Your child is feeling overwhelmed and you feel like you have to do something, so you try everything to make their anxiety go away.

It’s common to feel the pressure to act immediately to relieve your child’s distress. But that actually can make them feel more anxious - and jumping in and fixing things accidentally reinforces your child’s anxiety.

Your child can’t stop asking you for reassurance and you aren’t sure why they won’t believe you and stop asking.

Reassurance-seeking can be exhausting and confusing. You want to reduce their constant need for reassurance, and stop the constant repetitive questions!

Your child is so anxious about talking that they freeze when others ask them a question - and you end up answering for them.

Your child has no problem talking at home (maybe even too much!), but it’s a different story out in public.

I Understand Parents' Desires for Their Anxious Kids

Parents’ Biggest Desires:

Reduced Anxiety: Parents want their children to experience less fear and worry, leading to a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.

Increased Resilience: They hope their children will develop the skills to cope with anxiety effectively and face challenges with confidence.

Improved Daily Functioning: Parents wish for their children to be able to participate fully in everyday activities, including school, social interactions, and family events.

What Makes This Program Special

A Proven Approach:

A Unique Mindset:

Group Support:

One of the biggest challenges parents face is implementing new strategies on their own. I recognized this need for deeper support and connection, which is why this program includes a group support element. Connect with other parents who understand your journey and find additional support through shared experiences.

Why I’m Teaching This Program

I’m passionate about this program because it has already made a positive impact on so many families. My goal is to reach more people and provide a supportive environment where families can connect and grow together. This program goes beyond traditional group therapy, focusing on education and practical application to ensure lasting change.
