Hi everyone! I'm Josh. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, self-worth, and social anxiety. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you. I help individuals combat their social fears and begin to live a rich and fulfulling life. I do this through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques primarily but also integrate solution-focused therapy, assertiveness training, exposure therapy, and acceptance & commitment therapy. Whether you're a teen struggling to make friends and socialize or you are an adult unable to speak up at work meetings or unable to ask someone out on a date, I'm here for you! Seeking therapy can be frightening but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you take that leap of faith!

You may be seeking therapy for various reasons, or have the feeling it might help without knowing your specific goals.

I strive to support my clients in finding ways to thrive despite our oppressive world. If you are looking for a safe relationship to explore who you are and what you need, I would be honored to walk that path with you.

I am a non-dualistic therapist but before any label, I am a human being who experiences the same ups, downs, emotions and life challenges as every other human does at some point. So, I understand and work from the perspective of our sameness. I listen to each clients unique story and use my skills and intuition to assist each to inquire what is actually happening from the minds point of view so that they can consider alternative ways of thinking and navigating whatever they are struggling with.
