​Structured, skills-based therapy for anxious and emotionally intense children and teens — with collaborative parent support.
Therapy for Anxious and
Emotionally Intense Children
Some children experience worry, big emotional reactions, or difficulty managing frustration that interferes with daily life. Through structured, skills-based therapy, I help children build emotional regulation, coping strategies, and confidence in a supportive, developmentally appropriate way. Parent collaboration is an essential part of the process so skills carry over at home.
