Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Empower kids ages 8-12 to manage stress and anxiety, shift their mindset, and build confidence! This engaging, interactive course provides a clear and easy-to-understand overview of anxiety.

Kids will discover what’s happening in their brain and body when they feel anxious and how to use those signals as clues to practice effective coping skills and self-care. They'll learn to challenge self-defeating thoughts, turn negative thinking into positive, and develop mindfulness and self-compassion. The course also focuses on using their unique strengths to find motivation, growing from mistakes with a growth mindset, and tackling social anxiety, rejection, and fear of failure, including practical steps for facing fears.

In addition, learners will understand the importance of self-care for the whole person—how sleep, healthy eating, exercise, and time in nature and on screens can impact their anxiety and stress.

The skills taught in this course will benefit kids at home, in school, and throughout their lives, even into adulthood. By learning to reduce stress and build confidence and resilience, they'll be empowered to face challenges with strength and a positive mindset!

*Please see the syllabus for a detailed breakdown of the empowering weekly topics. 

*As a licensed mental health therapist, I am passionate about supporting children in overcoming anxiety. By helping kids understand anxiety more profoundly and equipping them with the tools to manage it independently, we empower them to take control of their emotional well-being. This approach not only fosters resilience but also encourages children to navigate life's challenges with confidence and strength!

*This course is designed for educational purposes and is not intended to serve as a substitute for therapy.

As a licensed mental health therapist and behavior specialist, practicing in the state of PA, I know how children and teens experience stress and challenges as they grow.

Over the past 15 years, I have provided therapy, self-esteem, and social skills classes for youth ages 5-21 in private practice, community, and school settings. I have had the privilege of helping many kids overcome obstacles and develop confidence and healthy self-esteem.

I empower children to build on their unique strengths and equip them with the tools they need to develop important social-emotional skills to overcome life’s stressors and grow happy and healthy.

In addition to my counseling experience, I am a mom of four and a children’s book author with both self-published and traditionally published works focusing on mental health, social skills, self-esteem, and related topics. I bring both personal and professional experience to my work, blending practical tools with an empathetic understanding of children’s needs.
