Are you concerned about your child or teen’s anxiety? Get help with my free e-book and explainer video to discover the 8 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ANXIOUS.
It is a privilege to be trusted by my clients to support them on their personal journeys.
Here is a sampling of what a few of them have shared with me:
My daughter, who is seven years old, has attended Sharon’s anxiety group and benefited greatly from it even after the first session. She was having problems with coping in school and after Sharon’s group she was better able to cope with everyday situations that arose at school and at home, which has led to less extreme outbursts with us and her sister. I have also attended Sharon’s parent group and found her sessions informative and practical. Sharon is a warm and friendly coach to assist my daughter in learning to improve her emotional intelligence.

Our 11-year-old son attended Sharon’s anxiety management group. The group sessions helped him to understand how his brain works and develop positive self-talk, which has been instrumental in helping my son cope with a new school, and his sensitivity in social situations. We have seen an amazing turn-around in our son – Sharon’s counsel, insight, and ability to connect with him has been key to his success.

Sharon has helped our family so much, not only with our son of 12, who in the last couple of years experienced a lot of anxiety and a lack of confidence, but with our understanding of how anxiety works and how we as parents can best deal with it. Our son completed the seven-week ‘Brain Training’ course with Sharon which helped him considerably. I feel, however, that the real changes came when my wife and I adjusted our parenting style to address not only our son’s anxiety, but our own, as well. We are amazed at the changes in our son, he is like a different person, much more confident and far less anxious.
My wife and I have also taken Sharon’s Adlerian Parenting Course, and through this experience we are able to be better parents, and are enjoying our family life to the fullest. We are all in a different, much better place now, and feel well prepared to face the challenges of the coming teen years. Thanks Sharon!

Thank you Sharon. Words cannot express how happy we are with the work you have done with our son. The change we have seen in him in the past year makes us very proud. While we still have a way to go as a family, we know we are on the right track. Thank you Sharon for giving us a great foundation to work from.

Dear Sharon, My 11 year old daughter, who initially did not want to go to your group, has absolutely loved taking your group. She looks forward to each week and can hardly wait! She’s begging me to take another one. Thank you for all that you do for our children. It’s been a great journey for both of us and I have learned so much too!
Victoria
Thank you so much for helping my student – she is doing so well and her parents are very grateful. I’m pleased to see this student smiling and confident again.

I just wanted to tell you that your Toddler to Teen® Parenting Solutions Course is like organic healthy food for my brain. I am enjoying it so much that I don’t want it to end! Often in my busy work/kids’ day, I crave a few minutes of peace to be myself so I can go and continue listening to it.
How it has worked for me is by listening to it over and over and over to actually automatically use these healthy recommendations in my everyday life, instead of my old daily routines.
This course and the bonus materials are so good that they can be used for any spousal and work relationships, too. It is so good that I wish this course and other forms of Sharon’s continued online support never end. Thank you, Sharon, for all that you do, for all of us, non-stop all these years.

I just wanted to thank you for what you have given my son and me. He has really connected to you. The tools he has learned in your group have been a game changer for him and for me. I am so thankful to you. You are an amazing soul and we are grateful to have come across your path!
Cindy
Our 15-year-old son was struggling with anxiety but he’s now doing so well and said he’s the happiest he’s ever been in his life. Thank you so much.
Johanna
We began seeing Sharon as a way to help us navigate our son’s extreme anxiety. When we began our relationship with Sharon, we certainly had high hopes, but as for visualizing what we thought was possible to ease our son’s pain, we really had no idea what was possible.
I am delighted to share that not only has an incredible bond of trust been created and nourished between our son and Sharon, but also her teachings have given him the tools to create a much happier and less stressful life. As a parent, I can tell you that there is no greater gift to me than to help my child.
My husband and I have also been so blessed to have had the opportunity to have some one-on-one appointments with Sharon. The time is usually spent with my husband and I giving Sharon examples of situations and conversations that we find challenging or being lost as to how to respond, and in turn, Sharon is without fail, very supportive and understanding with her kind and gentle guidance. What we value most with Sharon is her sage wisdom that she offers with complete non-judgment of our parenting skills. Sharon offers in-depth feedback and direction that is very specific to our child and family so that we are entirely set up for success when we go and put the great tools to use. Meeting Sharon has been truly life-changing for us.

My daughter was having a really hard time going to school. She would complain of stomach aches, headaches, cry, and refuse to go into the class. A teacher at our school told me about Sharon. Sharon exceeded my expectations. She is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about each child in her group. My daughter can now continue her journey in life with skills I wish I had when I was only seven years old, and I as a parent have a better understanding to help my child deal with the ‘worry bugs’.

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 your “Brain Science” course has made a beautiful difference in our daughter’s life. She developed an intense fear of the ocean this spring and summer as COVID changed our lives. That fear was very limiting as we live so close to the water. We spent much of the summer doing the same trail walk she was comfortable with in the woods, instead of enjoying local beaches and enjoying the beautiful sea wall near our home. Last weekend, before we headed out the door for that old familiar hike, she said she wanted to walk by the ocean instead. We have so missed doing this walk as a family, but she used to shake and sob if we tried to force it. This past weekend, she was so confident and proud of herself as she walked. You have given her the concept that her fears may not be the truth and she can choose to send them away.
