Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist
Is your social anxiety getting in your way of living a fulfilling life? I would love to help you. I am a Registered Drama Therapist trained in the therapeutic use of drama and other expressive arts. Together, we can explore what might be at the root of your anxiety, find helpful strategies to reduce the anxiety, and rehearse new behaviors/attitude to build your confidence.
If you're ready to reduce or completely exterminate the symptoms of your social anxiety I am here to help reduce the disturbance that social anxiety is causing you. This will be done by desensitizing you to any repressed associations, negative cognitions and images that are contributing to your social anxiety.

Social anxiety can often feel like an unwelcome burden and that it keeps life more limited than you would like. I will support you in reliving these symptoms through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to first build tools to better manage symptoms in the present and will follow that with psychodynamic work to support greater insight and lasting change.
Interfacing with other people can sometimes feel daunting. As we get to explore and understand where these fears are emanating from, huge changes can be made in people's lives. I help people to confront the dynamics that created the anxiety around other people.
Social Anxiety can be a difficult obstacle for people when trying to be social and wanting to connect and create friendships and relationships. Together we will work on thoughts that prevent connection and being seen due to fear of judgments and find out the underlying issues experiences that have contributed to these feelings.
Social anxiety is one of the most common mental health disorders. We utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to help individuals overcome their anxiety and have the relationships they want.

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 can be paralyzing and can prevent you from living a fulfilling life. Therapy offers skills and techniques to help reduce anxiety and work through the fears preventing you to connect with others and live the life you want.
