At times, life can be difficult. We can be caught off guard when we are thrown that unexpected curveball. Many of us may feel stuck and think the rest of the world is passing us by.

As a Psychotherapist and Social Worker, I currently provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults while also offering highly supportive clinical supervision to graduate students and new practitioners.

I specialize in ADHD, autism, self esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, codependency, family conflict, eating disorders, pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum, parenting, education and learning disabilities, school issues, women's issues, LGBTQ+, and more.
Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I work with individuals, couples, parents, and youth. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Relational, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, and Polyvagal Theory.

Some of the issues I work through are anxiety, depression, infertility issues, imposter syndrome, and feelings of low self worth and self esteem.
Are you ready to be your best you? To work through issues such as low self esteem/confidence, difficult relationships, or the discomfort of just feeling “stuck” in your life? Well I can help. I specialize in working with women to become the best version of themselves and help them achieve the life that often feels unattainable. I do this by helping my clients develop a deeper relationship with themselves, allowing themselves to show up in ways which best serve them.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming. We feel alone as we mask our imperfections to morph into a world we believe rewards otherwise. Yet, in our loneliness lives an unspoken unity because we each carry the weight of our mask. I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

If overwhelm, procrastination, anxiety, poor time management, trouble with focus, and low self-esteem are standard parts of your everyday life, you’ve likely wondered whether you have ADHD. If you haven’t gotten an official diagnosis, perhaps you’ve even accepted these as personality “flaws.” As someone who was diagnosed late in life, I can assure you that you’re not lazy, incapable, or any other hurtful adjective you’ve secretly called yourself. You just haven’t had the support to understand how your brain works.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
