On the outside, you’re keeping it together. But on the inside, your mind is buzzing through dozens of ‘what if‘ scenarios and you’re stuck wondering if you’re GETTING IT RIGHT…or making it worse for your child.

Overthinking is draining. Instead of finally feeling like you’re winning, you’ve got more doubt, bigger questions, and off the chart stress.  You know the ways that anxiety has taken charge in your life and you desperately want things to be DIFFERENT for your child.

NEVER, EVER just guess which strategies to try.
Learn how to match what you say and do to your child’s type of anxiety—
so it actually works.

Let's Break Anxiety's Grip
When College Brings Excitement—and Anxiety
Excitement. Pride. Worry. Beneath the dreams and possibilities, anxiety often shows up—uninvited. Parents, now is the time to Break Anxiety’s Grip—so your teen can grow through this transition feeling capable, ready, and confident.
When Anxiety Starts
Running the Game
Stressing out and shutting down on game day? When the pressure to perform turns into nausea, nerves, and overwhelm, anxiety has already taken the spotlight. You know they're capable but anxiety is crushing them. It's time to
Break Anxiety's Grip.
When “Good Enough” Is Never Enough
Learning used to feel exciting. Achievement brought a sense of pride. Then perfectionism stepped in—turning effort into pressure, and success into something that never feels like enough. That’s when it’s time to
Break Anxiety’s Grip.
When Anxiety Gets in the Way of Confidence and Connection
When anxiety is in charge, it reshapes your child’s social world. Hesitation. Overthinking. Staying out of the conversation. You see it—and they feel it. Over time, that pattern chips away at confidence, making connection and friendships harder than they should be. Your child needs you to help them
Break Anxiety’s Grip.

No Parent Thinks..."My life is just too easy."

I created this Parenting Intensive — Help Me Help My Child: Break Anxiety’s Grip — because you’ve spent time trying to understand yourself—how you think and respond. You can see where your mind gets pulled into worry spirals—how quickly a thought can start to run, how convincing it can feel, how hard it is to just “let it go.”

And now you’re watching anxiety and stress show up in your child.

So you try to get ahead of it.  You think things through.  You choose your words carefully.  You want to respond in a way that teaches and truly helps—not just in the moment, but over time. Because this matters deeply to you. You want more for your child than just temporary anxiety relief. You want them to develop a different relationship with their thoughts—a grounded internal voice, and a story that gives them room to grow, not one that confines them the way yours sometimes has.

At the same time… you’re carrying a lot.

Work. Family. Parenting. Self-care. The mental load of keeping life moving forward for you and your family.  And trying to get it right in real time. That’s when it becomes clear—anxiety has been running the show for too long, and something needs to shift.

That’s when you know it’s time to Break Anxiety’s Grip.
On your mind. On your child. On the moments that matter most.

As we work through Help Me Help My Child: Break Anxiety’s Grip, I'll show you the exact tools and strategies I use to navigate stress, anxiety, and overwhelm with patients in mytherapy practice, with my kids, and in my own day-to-day life.

      • Learn what works in real time and recognize anxiety as it’s actually happening—not just “big emotions” or difficult behavior, but patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, shutdown, and constant reassurance-seeking

      • Calm worry spirals quickly when you understand why logic doesn’t work in the moment and know what to do instead

      • Learn and practice proven body-based grounding strategies that help bring your child (and you) out of panic or overwhelm, so things don’t escalate the way they usually do

      • Break the loop seeing how anxiety pulls both of you into cycles—what-ifs, repeated questions, needing certainty—and learn how to interrupt those patterns without getting stuck in them

      • Stop accidentally triggering your child’s anxiety recognizing the moments where your response actually shapes what happens next—and know what to say instead

      • Stop avoidance and shut-down patterns, noticing how anxiety relentlessly shrinks your child’s world—through hesitation, refusal, and constant “I can’t” statements—and learn how to support them in facing what’s hard and building confidence without pushing too far or backing off too quick
       
      • Learn the thinking traps that fuel anxiety so you can catch your child before they fall in and help them get out of traps more quickly
       
      • Understand  the neuroscience of anxiety so you can meet fear with facts and practical evidence-based strategies
      • Show your child how to persevere even in the face of anxiety.  Finally! BREAK ANXIETY’S GRIP and build lasting skills by shifting from managing moment-to-moment anxiety and stress to helping your child build real skills—so they can handle uncertainty, pressure, and discomfort in a way that holds up over time

I’m known for keeping things SERIOUSLY SIMPLE, dialing into what’s PRACTICAL, and teaching EVIDENCE-BASED strategies.

No—your child won’t just grow out of anxiety.

And waiting it out isn’t a strategy.

It would be so much easier if this were just a phase—something kids naturally grow out of.  But anxiety doesn’t work like that.  It shows up in patterns—overthinking everything, avoiding what feels uncomfortable, needing constant reassurance, shutting down when things feel like too much.  And without the right support, those patterns don’t fade.  They become familiar. Automatic.  Waiting can come at a cost as unintended anxiety fertilizer.

Parents Tools Anxiety

So instead of waiting and hoping it passes, it’s time to
BREAK ANXIETY'S GRIP.
Because the patterns taking shape right now become what your
child leans on later.

This is what it starts to look like in REAL LIFE

Parenting That Actually Feels Good Again

Imagine parenting that feels steadier, stronger, more settled.  You’re modeling and teaching the exact skills you want your child to build—how to handle stress, tolerate discomfort, and think through hard moments.  You’re having more moments that feel calm and manageable, and noticing how your child is beginning to handle things differently, too.

Less Second-Guessing.
More Steady Parenting.

What if it started to feel like there was more joy and ease in your day-to-day parenting.  You’re not stuck wondering if you said the wrong thing—you know how to respond.  You’re not overthinking every interaction or questioning yourself afterward. You’re steady in the moment, even when things feel hard. And over time, your child begins to carry that same confidence forward—because anxiety has less of a grip on both of you.

Stop Searching.
Start Knowing What to Do.

You’re not looking for a script for every situation—but you’re done guessing your way through it. You understand what’s happening as it’s happening.  You know how to steady yourself and choose how to respond in the moment. Even when things aren’t clear, you’re not stuck. You can orient yourself, trust your next step, and move forward with intention. Because you don’t need a perfect plan. You have something better—a way to respond that holds up, no matter what shows up.

I'll teach you what I know works (because I’ve done it for over 19 years in therapy with 1000s of anxious kids and parents!)

I’ve faced the unique challenges of raising an ‘extreme preemie’—now a teenager—while juggling the demands of multiple businesses and a career as a therapist. Let me be clear: I’m deeply passionate about my work, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But if you’re anything like me—a “thinker”—you know exactly how it feels. Those intrusive thoughts? They’re like unwelcome guests, sticking around and scrutinizing every little detail, driving stress and anxiety sky-high.  Let me show you the way through – with the right tools you can quiet those voices, manage the overwhelm, and come out stronger and more resilient on the other side.

I combine evidence-based strategies with a deep understanding of how anxiety actually shows up in real life—so you’re not just getting information, you’re getting guidance that fits your child.

It’s about breaking anxiety’s grip on your child—and changing the direction they grow from here.

You’ll feel heard and supported, yes—but more than that, you’ll walk away with clear, practical tools you can rely on in real moments.  Because this isn’t just about getting through today’s stress.

Learn how to stop your own stress and anxiety from taking over—and sabotaging the parent you’re trying to be.

You're Not Just Battling Anxiety For Yourself.

Parents, we know this is more than personal—it’s high stakes.  Because you know your reactions don’t stop with you.  They impact your home. They sound the alarm through your tone. They shape your child’s experiences.

Whether your child is young or growing into independence,
you can feel it—that pressure to get it right.
To not let your own stress spill over.
To not pass something down you’ve worked so hard to manage yourself.
