Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition that can make it hard for individuals to fully participate in social situations. As a therapist, I understand the impact that social anxiety can have on one's life and I specialize in helping individuals manage symptoms of social anxiety to foster well-being through the use of evidence-based therapies such as prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Together, we will work to identify the triggers of your anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage them. We will explore the underlying causes of your social anxiety and use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. And, using prolonged exposure therapy, we will work to desensitize you to the feared situations, ultimately leading to a reduction of symptoms.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your social anxiety and to help you build a brighter, more fulfilling future for yourself. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to work through your struggles and find solutions that work for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards a better tomorrow.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Social Anxiety is a frequent presenting concern for clients. Often this results in and is perpetuated by avoidance of social situations, and quite frequently is accompanies by uncomfortable physiologic reactions in social situations experienced as threatening. Usually it is the avoidance of the threatening situations that prevent the person from becoming desensitized. On a very simple level, supporting my clients in developing effective ways to calm themselves such as through relaxation training, meditation, or even clinical hypnosis then can be used to help them be able to tolerate gradually increasing their exposure to the threatening situations. If desired, I can support clients in applying a behavioral approach to social anxiety using techniques such as systematic desensitization. Frequently too do I augment this with clinical hypnosis in preparing clients for successfully expanding their social activity. In other cases, working with the beliefs and expectations they have can be helpful using cognitive therapy, either formally or in a more conversational approach. A guiding principal I apply is to empower the client to be actively involved in planning the approach and to continually emphasize the choices they are making rather than have them experience themselves as passively participating in a treatment.
