You are struggling with a negative self-concept coexisting with a high level of anxiety that is more likely the result of irrational negative thoughts. The issues present interfere with daily functioning and pleasurable activities. For example, despite regular positive feedback, you might feel defective because of a single benign criticism, which causes overwhelming anxiety at the thought of being exposed. Engaging with others becomes a daily struggle. You might need help changing your thoughts and feelings about yourself, enhancing self-esteem, and building self-confidence to improve your quality of life.

A bit about me- to start, I love this work and I feel honored to be with my clients during times of struggle and hopefully, some moments of laughter. I’m not an advice-giver and I don’t have life all figured out. So, no judgment. Instead, I hope to increase awareness, self-acceptance, and self-determination. I hope to highlight choices and to collaborate with clients to understand their behaviors including the function they serve currently or in the past. I am non-judgmental, supportive, always open to feedback, and flexible.

Having professional therapeutic support when dealing with anxiety and depression can make such a difference from feeling hopeless and defeated. Working with a professional such as myself can be a rewarding and empowering experience.
