Do you find yourself nervous in social situations? Do you often opt out of social interaction or have trouble initiating relationships? Social Anxiety has become more prevalent over the last few years, spurred by the pandemic and subsequent need for social distancing and isolation. My goal to help you get back into the social sphere at a pace that is comfortable for you or to develop ways to maintain and strengthen the relationships you currently enjoy.
We have many therapists who are experienced in working with social anxiety. Please take a look at our general statement here and our website: https://talkingworkscounseling.com/
Social anxiety can be a dehabilitating problem. We will work to understand its root causes and also encourage in a gentle, compassional way practice experiential exercises to begin enjoing the social world again.

Struggles with coping with social anxiety issues can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your social anxiety and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.
Social Anxiety can feel debilitating and often prevents us from having the kinds of relationships and experiences we are worthy of. Given the pandemic and the subsequent isolation, your social anxiety might feel more intense or, you are simply struggling to reconnect with your social self. I will help you identify the root causes of this anxiety and provide you with coping strategies to ease the fearful response and increase your confidence.
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.
