Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

Social anxiety is a form of anxiety that revolves around being concerned about the thoughts and opinions of others. Sometimes it makes you question things you’ve said or done and can make you so anxious that you avoid social situations altogether. In our work together, we’ll explore how social anxiety shows up for you, what it tries to tell you, and how to tackle it head-on.

Do you experience intense anxiety or nervousness when faced with social situations?
Do you fear being judged or criticized by others?
Are you always worried about making mistakes, looking bad or being embarrassed in front of others?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have social anxiety. While it is normal to feel nervous in some social situations, people who experience daily social anxiety tend to avoid everyday interactions that cause them significant fear, anxiety, self-consciousness, and embarrassment because they fear being scrutinized or judged by others.
People with Social Anxiety Disorder often experience significant distress in the following situations:
Being teased or criticized
Being the center of attention
Being watched or observed while completing a task
Having to say something in a formal, public setting
Meeting people in authority, such as important people or authority figures
Feeling insecure and out of place in social situations
Embarrassing easily
Meeting other people’s eyes
Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition. Learning coping skills in therapy sessions can help you gain the confidence you need to improve your ability to interact with others.

Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.
