My daughter was struggling with anxiety and it was getting to the point where it was beginning to affect her and our life on a daily basis. If she knew she was going to be outside of her comfort zone she would start to panic and focus on something in an obsessive and negative way in anticipation of the upcoming situation. She was the most anxious she had ever been when she started the six week anxiety management course with Sharon. She loved Sharon immediately and felt very comfortable with her. She has learned through Sharon why she may feel this way and how to use skills to help her cope better. I wondered how much she might absorb as a six-year-old but she seems to be able to remember and use what Sharon has taught her. As she was taking the course her anxiety decreased dramatically. When she begins to get anxious again we use the skills she has learned and talk about how she can manage and cope with the things that are bothering her. I have also learned how to help her. Our experience with Sharon has been invaluable. My daughter says she is the best teacher she has ever had! Thanks Sharon.

I just wanted to let you know that both times that my daughter has left your sessions, she is literally floating on a cloud of excitement and positive energy. We always go for a snack and drink afterward and I can feel the buzz of excitement radiating from her. She says you are ‘so, so nice’ repeatedly and today said that she considers you a ‘trusted adult in her life that she is lucky to have’. She has taken complete ownership of this process and feels she is making good choices in spending time with you and learning about herself. Obviously, she has connected with you in the way I thought and hoped she would. I feel that such great, positive changes are on the way for her. I wanted to sincerely thank you. I share her excitement for what the future will bring for her.
