Social Anxiety  

The root of social anxiety tends to be our beliefs about what other people will think of us or whether they are safe with others. This is different than just introverted people. Social anxiety can affect a great many areas of your life but it is something that can be treated and open up your world.  

Many people suffer from social anxiety and don't even realize. I utilize several CBT and DBT techniques to help my clients take control of their social anxiety and manage these symptoms so that they no longer feel debilitated by this difficult disorder.  

Therapy that targets social anxiety teaches you how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself and develop skills to help you gain confidence in social situations.  

I work to address social anxiety by offering targeted interventions to help individuals navigate social interactions with greater ease. Through evidence-based techniques, I work collaboratively with patients to identify, explore, and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build a sense of confidence and competence, and develop effective coping mechanisms. The aim is to empower individuals to overcome social fears and enhance overall social wellbeing.
