Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP (Qualifying), RCC, CCC
It can be exhausting having to navigate other people - their moods, their needs - and also feel comfortable enough to be yourself around other people. I support people in understanding their stressors when they are around other people and addressing them at a personal level - so that they can both manage their needs when they are around others and be comfortable in their own skin in social settings. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*
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).
As a counsellor specializing in social anxiety, I take a compassionate and holistic approach to help you overcome your challenges. We'll begin by exploring the underlying causes and triggers of your social anxiety, recognizing the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your distress. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to gradually expose you to social situations in a supportive and controlled manner, building your confidence and resilience over time. Additionally, we'll work on challenging negative self-beliefs and developing more adaptive ways of thinking about yourself and social interactions. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and gradual exposure exercises, our goal is to empower you to face social situations with greater ease and self-assurance. Together, we'll navigate this journey towards greater social confidence and fulfillment, one step at a time.
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.
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.
Our clinicians have expertise in helping individuals with symptoms of anxiety, including social anxiety. We use the gold standard cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach and also integrate elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as well as mindfulness. We will work with you to overcome your anxiety and discomfort in social situation. This will allow you to engage in things that are meaningful to you and get your life back on track.

In my social anxiety counseling, I provide strategies and support for individuals struggling with fear and discomfort in social situations. We focus on building confidence, improving social skills, and understanding the roots of social anxiety. My goal is to help clients navigate social interactions more comfortably and build meaningful connections.
If you struggle with social anxiety, you know how debilitating it can be. Social anxiety can impact your ability to enjoy social situations, make connections with others, and even perform well in your career. But there is hope. Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) can be a powerful tool to help you overcome social anxiety and gain the confidence you need to thrive in social situations.
RTT works by accessing the subconscious mind to identify and reprogram negative beliefs and thought patterns that may be contributing to social anxiety. By replacing these negative beliefs with positive, empowering ones, RTT can help you develop a more positive self-image and increase your self-confidence in social situations.
Whether you're struggling with fear of public speaking, fear of rejection, or simply find social situations overwhelming, RTT can help. Through a combination of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, RTT can help you break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.
Social anxiety can be a difficult and isolating experience, but you don't have to face it alone. With RTT, you can gain the tools and resources you need to overcome social anxiety and achieve your goals. Whether you're looking to improve your social life, advance your career, or simply feel more comfortable in your own skin, RTT can help you get there.
Don't let social anxiety hold you back from living a fulfilling and satisfying life. With RTT, you can develop the confidence and skills you need to thrive in social situations and achieve lasting change. Take the first step towards a happier, healthier future today.
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 can feel isolating, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I strive to provide a safe and understanding space where you can explore your fears, challenge negative beliefs, and develop practical strategies for managing social situations.
