Often I work with college students or adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, transition, or grief. My clients are often isolated and lacking strong social connections, either by choice or because they feel rejected. I try to center my work around logic, common sense and a supportive, trusting relationship. I am here to be a supportive encourager, an advocator and a helper with kindness and respect.
High school can be a rollercoaster of social challenges. Every day brings something new, whether navigating cliques, dealing with rumors, worrying about an upcoming presentation, or peer pressure. The journey can seem overwhelming, but the good news is that you are NOT alone. In this group, we will join together to tackle social anxiety. Objectives: Understand the triggers, thoughts, and feelings associated with anxiety in social situations. Disrupt distorted thoughts and beliefs about social interactions by identifying and challenging them. Explore and practice coping strategies for managing anxiety symptoms in social situations. Create a supportive environment where members can share experiences, and offer encouragement.
