Life’s transitions – they can be the most exciting and the hardest thing for individuals and families to go through. Starting a new job or school year, having a baby, losing a loved one, losing a pet, divorce, dealing with the daily pressures of society can all be overwhelming to manage on your own. Has a recent change in your life been causing increased anxiety, stress, fear or depression? Is your mood affecting your self esteem, relationships, or habits? Life is full of transitions yet few of us have truly learned all the tools available to ground ourselves and feel safe and secure as we navigate through them.

I use a collaborative, client-centred approach, and work from the belief that everyone is doing the best they can. You don’t have to know what’s wrong in order to meet with me.

Our early relationships and experiences play a significant role in shaping who we are, and how we perceive the world, which can sometimes result in problematic ways of thinking and dealing with emotions. Consequently, this can lead to emotional turmoil, unfulfillment and dissatisfaction in life, as well as challenges in relationships, work or school, and unhealthy ways of coping. I strive to guide my patients through exploring and processing their experiences so that they can learn better ways to manage, and ultimately feel more present and fulfilled in their lives.

I work with teens, individuals and couples as they navigate challenges of every day life, traumatic events and mental health challenges. Some individuals are very aware of where they are struggling, which helps us to align quickly and start working together. Whereas others might be new to counselling and really want a trained clinician to help them to understand and make sense of their world and experiences. I offer a client centered approach and will meet you where you are at. My approach centers on building strong, warm relationships with my clients, where both growth and humor can co-exist.

I offer services in English and Spanish (Español). Many women go through toxic relationships where they feel devastated; however, they ask themselves if their perception is correct because there are no punches or blood involved. Likewise, women begin to doubt themselves as their sense of reality is altered and their cognition is put to the test. Another serious consequence of this condition is low self-esteem. Women think that they have no value and that there will be no one in the world who will love or desire them anymore. This is a call to all women who want to recover themselves. You Are Not Alone!

As most of my current clients, you have probably been feeling overwhelmed by your negative thoughts, frequently tired, anxious, stuck in the past, easily distracted, angry, unmotivated, and have been avoiding uncomfortable feelings. You may have contemplated contacting a therapist on more than one occasion to learn how to cope with difficult emotions, reduce stress, and to improve your overall well being. Often, selecting a therapist and booking the intake appointment is intimidating, however after taking the initial step many clients report a sense of relief.

Self Esteem Counsellors

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.
