Social anxiety is highly prevalent and can change an individual's life, often limiting their abilities to function in society. I can help individuals manage their symptoms by implementing helpful strategies and positive behaviors.
Are you afraid of what other people may think about you and believe that no one understands you? If so, I''ll help you reign in your mind's harsh criticisms about you so that you can step out and create a social circle that is aligned with your personal values.
People with social anxiety find it very hard to interact with others and will do whatever possible to avoid it. They constantly second guess themselves, and attribute any negative interaction to their own failure to relate. They also anticipate negative consequences even before attempting to interact. Luckily, through cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral techniques, you can overcome this problem.
Social anxiety is a major focus area of my practice. I will help you understand the causes and give you tools to overcome this potentially debilitating disorder.
Do you secretly hope your friends will cancel the plans you have made with them or spend time trying to figure out how to get out of social events because the thought of interacting with people or even walking into the even terrifies you? Social anxiety can be extremely crippling, and those of us who deal with it often struggle from loneliness and isolation even though those same social situations we crave so desperately also overwhelm us tremendously. In therapy you can learn new strategies to manage your anxiety, learn ways of creating friends AND showing up to enjoy them, and ways to create a community of people that “get” you and have space for you however you choose to show up. We can also help you learn to love ALL of the facets of your life- including the moments where you get to show up to spend time with others and the times you are alone. I find that online therapy is particularly good for social anxiety because we can work together in any place you feel safe and comfortable in and work together to help you stretch and strengthen your ability to interact socially.

Any fear based emotions are successfully released with clinical hypnotherapy.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.
I have seen an increase in social anxiety since the pandemic started and it continues as we transition out of isolation. Social anxiety is extreme discomfort in various social situations. If untreated, social anxiety can trigger panic attacks and cause avoidance of important social situations. Through mindful mediation in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral techniques I help my clients find joy in social situations again.
