Worry is a normal part of growing up — we all experience it. But when anxiety starts getting bossy in the brains of our fun, big-hearted kids, it can shape their behaviors, limit their actions, and impact how they feel day to day. Anxiety pushes for control, trying to avoid anything uncertain or uncomfortable, and in doing so, it can interfere with school, friendships, sleep, independence, play, and the willingness to try new things.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. I help children and teens understand how worry works, retrain their brains, and take action against anxiety. Your child will learn practical, empowering skills to quiet the worry voice and grow into the confident, independent kid you’re raising them to be.
Anxiety can show up in so many ways in children. The spectrum is wide...some may have difficulty separating from their parents, sleeping alone, difficulty making friends, some show aggressive or maladaptive behaviors, getting up for school or extra-curricular activities, excessive perfectionism, and more. When you pay attention closely, you may notice a pattern to your anxious child’s words. I have good news! It doesn’t have to stay like this. We will retrain your child’s brain to recognize and interrupt the pattern of worry in the brain so they can be free from the restraints of anxiety.
