Spring is coming — and social life is picking up.
For a lot of young adults, that also means:
feeling awkward, not knowing what to say, and overthinking every interaction.
I created a Social Confidence Workshop to help with exactly that — a warm, therapist-led space to practice real conversations and feel more natural around people.
🌱 Get ready to feel more confident socially this spring and summer.
If this makes you think of someone — a client, student, or young adult in your life — feel free to share.

Ideal for:
• socially anxious young adults
