Living with social anxiety is so hard and can be incredibly lonely - the constant worrying, overthinking, and questioning. Being unable to turn your brain off, and feeling uncomfortable in your body. Constantly questioning your latest encounters with others. It can impact your sleep, your relationships, your work and your sense of self. I understand the challenges and complexities of social anxiety, and how to address them. Together we will work to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, and uncover what lies underneath it in order to create real, lasting change and allow you to form safe and authentic relationships with others.

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness, all within a positive and humanistic therapeutic environment to help with social anxiety.

Therapy for social anxiety is powerful, effective, and a cornerstone of my practice.
Anxiety is something that impacts all of us. For many, there’s a general sense of dread or feeling of being unsafe that holds us back from life. For some, social anxiety is a significant barrier to creating connection with others. Anxiety can show up in our thoughts as well as our bodies, and it can prevent us from living the life we want. The most important thing to remember when it comes to anxiety is that most of our fearful thoughts are false. Your brain sends a compelling signal that you’re in mortal danger, but most times the stakes just aren’t that high. Learn how to challenge that signal and lead a richer, more full life.
I help individuals with social anxiety using an understanding of symptoms, triggers, and coping techniques. By uncovering deeper, rooted beliefs, we can tackle anxiety as it relates to social situations to strengthen self-confidence.
