Social anxiety is a mental disorder that is treatable and manageable, and it is NOT shy or introverted.
My primary area of expertise centers around assisting clients in overcoming and effectively managing social anxiety. This form of anxiety can significantly impact one's life, which underscores the importance of equipping clients with coping strategies and a deeper understanding of its origins, with the ultimate goal of potential mitigation. In my practice, I employ evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other modalities, to support individuals in their journey to conquer social anxiety.
I use both CBT and EFT approaches to help clients better understand and overcome their social anxiety. Grounding tools to help cope with anxiety are also introduced as are behavioural exposure therapy (if the client is open to this).
I assist clients in overcoming social anxiety, empowering them to develop confidence, effective communication skills, and resilience in social situations for a more fulfilling life.
Social situations may be very anxiety provoking for some of us. Even though we want to be around people and have deep connections, we might struggle with being comfortable in such environments. I invite you to reach out for support so we can work through your social anxiety and walk towards a more fulfilling social life together.
Social anxiety can make us feel so disconnected and overwhelmed. Using a variety of modalities, we can support you to decrease your feelings of anxiety in social situations.
In my approach to helping clients overcome social anxiety, I craft a nurturing space where individuals can safely tackle their fears. Integrating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Role-Playing, and specifically, Exposure Therapy, we collaboratively develop a path to confidence and ease in social situations. This comprehensive approach is designed to gently confront and desensitize clients to the social scenarios that trigger their anxiety, enhancing coping mechanisms and fostering resilience. By also focusing on building social skills and self-awareness, our aim is to empower individuals to navigate interpersonal interactions with greater comfort and less fear. My role is to guide and support you through this transformative process, offering the insights and techniques necessary for managing social anxiety. Together, we work towards achieving a more fulfilling and engaged life, helping you to step out into the world with confidence.
Social anxiety is one of the most common anxiety disorders. Many people have some discomfort meeting new people, talking in front of a group, making or answering phone calls, and making small talk. Anxiety in social situations starts becoming a problem if it's causing you difficulties in work, school, with your family, keeping or making friends, or is very intense when you're in these situations. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will learn to accurately assess the fears you have in these situations, and learn skills to manage your anxiety when it does not match the threat of the situation. We will also work on interpersonal skills training to help with more accurate communicating if this is something you struggles with, as well as setting and maintaining boundaries and limits.
I help women who are suffering with social anxiety. Social anxiety usually stems from low self worth and self esteem. I know what it’s like, I have been there and I can help you become more confident in social situations.
