Actionable Anxiety & OCD Tools for Parents.

When your child is caught in a loop of worry, meltdowns, or rigid OCD behaviors, it’s natural to want to fix it fast. But answering the same reassurance question 20 times or tiptoeing around triggers can leave your entire household walking on eggshells.

What is SPACE Parent Coaching?

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is an evidence-based program developed at the Yale Child Study Center.

Unlike traditional child therapy, your child does not attend these weekly sessions. Instead, I work directly with you (parents!) to give you concrete, step-by-step tools to respond to your child’s anxiety. By making strategic changes in your own responses, you empower your child to build independence, coping skills, and resilience.

What You’ll Learn & Put Into Practice

This program is structured, practical, and action-oriented. Over 10 focused sessions, you’ll master:

  • Identifying & Understanding Accommodations

  • Effective Emotional Support

  • Targeting & Planning for Change

  • Proactive Communication

  • Managing Emotional Reactions

  • Long-Term Community Support

Group Details & Upcoming Cohorts

I also offer SPACE in a small, supportive group format with other local parents navigating similar struggles. Parents learn practical strategies to implement after every single session.

  • Format: 10-Session Group Therapy for Parents (Virtual via Zoom)

  • Intake Requirement: New families must complete a brief virtual or in-person intake with both the parent(s) and child prior to starting the group to ensure it's the right fit.

Is This Program Right for Your Family?

SPACE Parent Coaching is an ideal fit if:

  • Your child refuses to go to therapy or shuts down when asked about their feelings.

  • Anxiety or OCD is running your household (mornings, bedtimes, drop-offs, or mealtimes are a constant battle).

  • You feel burnt out by constant reassurance-seeking and feel unsure how to stop without causing a meltdown.

  • You want actionable tools and weekly homework, not just an open-ended support group.

Restore Peace and Calm to Your Home

You don't have to watch your child struggle with anxiety alone, or feel helpless in how to respond. Through the SPACE protocol, you will gain concrete, parent-led strategies to ease childhood anxiety and bring stability back to your daily family life.
