Social anxiety is a condition characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. It can often lead to avoidance of social situations altogether, which further reinforces feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition if not addressed and treated. However, with the right guidance and support, it is possible to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling life with healthy social interactions.

Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).

social anxiety is a challenge for so many people. I can help you explore the complex feelings around being with others. I will help you get comfortable to be in your own skin by first exploring how uncomfortable it really can be.

Social anxiety can be related to our sense of self/our self esteem; feeling a sense of empowerment in relationships; feeling that we are accepted just as we are; no change needed. It can involve learning new communication skills. Social anxiety if also related to experiences of shame. Bringing shame out into the light of day can help.

As someone with social anxiety and agoraphobia, I know both professionally and personally the impact this can have on not only those around you, but your internal struggle/self-esteem. Let’s explore the part of you that’s feeling ignited in the presence of others, why it fears what it fears, and perhaps what purpose it serves for you. Whether it’s to protect you from embarrassment or to protect you of failure, it serves or had served a purpose. By understanding what it’s protecting you from, we connect to it on a deeper level in order to redirect/tame it.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Social anxiety disorder is a common form of anxiety disorder. Individuals with social anxiety disorder experience symptoms of anxiety or fear in situations where they may face scrutiny, evaluation, or judgment from others. Everyday activities such as eating or drinking in front of others or using public restrooms can also trigger anxiety or fear due to concerns about potential humiliation, judgment, or rejection. I use CBT to introduce alternative thinking patterns, behaviors, and responses to situations in order to alleviate anxiety and fear. It also emphasizes the acquisition and practice of social skills, a crucial aspect of treating social anxiety disorder. Through CBT, you can develop strategies to feel more at ease in social interactions and enhance your overall social competence. Social anxiety does not need to limit your life, social connections, and opportunities. Let me help you break free from social anxiety and live the way you want to be living.
