I support anxious, highly sensitive teens and college students move from a space of worried and unsure to a place of calm and confident. Imagine your child woke up and felt confident, peaceful and just “okay” in their own skin. When she was younger, you never had to worry about her. Now you're worrying all the time. She’s her harshest critic and never seems to think she’s good enough. Maybe you’ve seen friendships change or grades drop and you want so desperately to just understand - to help. Adolescence can already feel challenging, throw in anxiety and it can feel down right debilitating.
