Social Anxiety Disorder

Do you avoid speaking up in meetings, making phone calls, attending social events, or meeting new people because you're afraid of being judged?

Do you replay conversations afterward, worrying that you sounded awkward, said the wrong thing, or embarrassed yourself?

Do you want deeper friendships or relationships but find that anxiety keeps getting in the way?

If so, you may be experiencing social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming and can leave you feeling isolated, self-conscious, or stuck on the sidelines of your own life.

The good news is that social anxiety is highly treatable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy have been shown to be effective in helping people face their fears, reduce avoidance, build confidence, and reconnect with the people and activities that matter to them.

I use CBT, exposure therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people with social anxiety understand their anxiety, face difficult situations at their own pace, and build a life that feels more meaningful and connected.

If social anxiety is keeping you from living the life you want, reach out to learn how therapy can help.
