Do you want your sweet, responsible, and kind daughter to just be a kid? Make friends, have fun, and feel good at home, at school, and in social and extracurricular life? You wish she felt more confident and carefree.

Hey Mama, I know you've been supporting your girl, but it's still so tough, right? Balancing home and school life is chaotic enough, and now you're worried about her mood and anxiety after big changes. It breaks your heart to see her stressed about everything—siblings, friends, school, etc. You've tried so much, but you're still searching for answers. Here are some struggles with anxiety in girls we can help with:
-
Overthinking and worry
-
Sadness and withdrawal
-
Shyness and not speaking up
-
Bullying at school
-
Avoiding school or activities
-
Social anxiety

Separation anxiety
Helping Kind Girls
I work with thoughtful, kind Girls (ages 4-10) who also happen to be quite anxious—little adults worried about everything. Some are naturally like this, while others have faced big changes and tough times.
We start by understanding your daughter’s world—her struggles, strengths, and how the family can help. We create the plan together because you know your daughter best.
Therapy sessions are weekly, adapting to her emotional needs by age:
-
Girls (4-7 years): Weekly Child-Parent sessions focusing on attachment and the security you provide.
-
Older girls (7-10 years): Weekly individual play and art sessions for self-expression.
Parent Guidance Sessions every 3-4 weeks: We review progress, adjust strategies, and provide space to share your concerns more freely.
Expect changes in mood, emotional regulation, and social skills within 2-4 months.
