Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is more than just being shy. It can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, from meeting new people to speaking in groups or even answering the phone. If social situations leave you feeling drained, panicked, or deeply self-conscious, you’re not being dramatic. It’s real, and it’s hard.

How social anxiety can affect you
Social anxiety might mean you spend hours replaying conversations in your head, worrying about what people think of you, or avoiding social situations altogether. It can affect your work, your friendships, and your sense of connection with others.
You might feel like everyone else finds social interaction easy, and that there’s something wrong with you. That’s not true, but when you’re living with it, it can feel very isolating.
How therapy can help
Online therapy can be especially helpful for social anxiety, because you can talk from a space where you feel comfortable and safe. There’s no waiting room, no small talk with strangers. Just a private conversation between you and me.
We can explore where your social anxiety comes from, what it’s trying to protect you from, and how it affects your daily life. I’ll meet you with patience and understanding, and we’ll work at whatever pace feels right for you.
