Social anxiety can be paralyzing so I have utilized mindfulness/grounding exercises, Internal Family Systems techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, among others in order to help clients get their life back again.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, as well as exploration of the past and present to gain an understanding of where the anxious thoughts comes from can be used to help treat social anxiety
Social anxiety is a commonly occurring mental health issue, but one that many people and providers do not understand. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help you reshape thinking patterns and particular behaviors in order to create new adaptive experiences and new beliefs which reduce anxiety and increase connection.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) represents major modality of treatment to overcome social anxiety and stress. In addition, mindfulness plays a role in my therapeutic approach. Seligman and Reichenberg (2014) provide profound insight as to how best to accomplish these goals namely: (a) employing effective and well-conceived Socratic questions, (b) helping the client to establish a clear framework of his/her perceptions and thoughts and (c) helping the client to reframe such perceptions and thoughts where negative cognitions exist.
