Relieve Anxiety

I specialize in helping children identify, cope and overcome their anxiety.

What might anxiety look like in a child?

• Fear about a specific object (e.g. dogs, needles, etc.)

• Fear about a specific situation (e.g. initiating a conversation, presenting in front of the class, answering questions when called upon, etc.)

• Difficulty leaving your side or being in a room without you present

• Refusing to go anywhere without you

• Having nightmares about not being with you

• Experiencing frequent stomach aches, headaches or nausea when not by your side

Does the fear and anxiety seem to be out of control and prevent your child from being involved or completing tasks?

Your child may be experiencing anxiety…

Anxiety is triggered in all of us at one time or another, but it’s when it becomes a greater obstacle that hinders us from achieving and living life fully that it becomes more of a concern.
