Hi, I'm Jaime - therapist, parent coach and author of 'Tummy Troubles', a book for children who are afraid of throwing up. I specialize in treating children, teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and specific fears/phobias. Parenting an anxious child can be very challenging! Our children's anxiety, OCD and specific fears/phobias can cause us to believe we are doing something wrong. Even worse, it can cause our children to feel like they are as well. Our child's anxiety can make everyday tasks, like going to school, extremely difficult. Family life can become disrupted and parenting can feel overwhelming and stressful.

Why is it that the most important relationship in our lives is often the one that gets the least attention? Self-care is so essential, and yet many of us leave it for last or skip it all together. Many of us in today’s society feel enormous pressure to do and have it all, often at the expense of our happiness and mental health. The resulting anxiety, stress, and depression can be difficult to manage on your own. In my practice, I focus on the therapeutic relationship and interpersonal connection, as I believe that trust and an open dialogue are the first steps in achieving meaningful change.
