Social anxiety does not have to interfere with the life you want to live. We want to help you learn what is getting in the way of meaningful and stress-free social interactions - how your thoughts are contributing to the fear and discomfort that you feel in social situations. We also want to help you develop skills so that you can relate to these thoughts a little differently and build confidence in social situations. This includes understanding what is happening in your body when you feel anxious and how you can regulate and establish a feeling of safety.
It IS possible to make new meaningful connections, to not have to analyze each social interaction, and to advocate for yourself at home and work.
Contact us for a complimentary 15-minute consultation - we will connect you with clinicians from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Social anxiety can unexpectedly disrupt social interactions, leading to panic attacks and overwhelming thoughts of being judged or humiliated. This can manifest through physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating or trembling. It can also lead to fear of social situations or excessive analysis of past social interactions. I offer personalized support for social anxiety using targeted treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These treatments can assist individuals in managing their social anxiety.
As a skilled counselor specializing in social anxiety, I provide empathetic support and evidence-based interventions to help individuals overcome their fear of social situations. Through a collaborative and personalized approach, I empower clients to develop effective coping strategies, build self-confidence, and cultivate fulfilling social connections, enabling them to thrive in various social contexts.
The experience of social anxiety can be a severe hindrance towards happiness, professional achievements, and having the best relationships. Social anxiety is rooted in early experiences. My approach is for us to first see what the social concerns are and then to explore early interactions which have had an impact on their development. We will then work towards dismantling them from the present down to the roots. Clients have experienced a sense of freedom from their constant worries of being judged and a significant improvement in self-confidence and self-expression.
