You want to help your child, but sometimes it's hard to know what to do to be supportive. Or, maybe you're worried that your support or boundaries will make things worse, and cause a lot of disruption in your home. I will give you actionable strategies to implement TODAY that will help empower you in your role as a parent. 

I am trained in both SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) and CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I will help you understand your child’s worry patterns, learn new ways of responding to them, and give you tools to build your child’s emotional literacy that go beyond learning to take deep breaths or counting to 10.

Children with Anxiety, ADHD, and other emotional behavioral disorders often have skill deficits in the areas of emotion regulation and behavioral control. They can be rigid, rather than flexible, and often have difficulty sustaining attention. These skill deficits set the stage for challenging behaviors. I will help you understand where your child's behaviors are coming from, why some really popular strategies don't work, and what to do instead.

School refusal is an increasingly common concern for anxious kids and their families. I will help you better understand the "why" behind their motivation to not go to school, provide support for using new skills to manage their anxiety and behavior, and teach you more productive ways of collaborating with their school team - school refusal takes a village.
