I also work with couples to help improve their communication, build trust, and navigate life changes. Couples will learn skills to work better as a team while building a deeper connection. My clients are thoughtful, curious, and willing to go deep to understand themselves and their troubles from the inside out.

Have you felt like lately everything around you seems a little heavier? You are NOT alone in this feeling. If it hasn’t always felt very easy to ask for help, maybe now is the time you’re able to try something different. I see individual adults working through life transitions, trauma, anxiety and depression, building self-esteem, identity exploration, interpersonal relationships, and anything else that might be weighing them down.

My desire to care for people and improve their quality of life, combined with my own healing journey, are what made me fall in love with counseling. I really believe that we are not meant to face life's challenges alone. Life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling weary, uncertain, and stuck. But I believe that within every person is a wellspring of strength and resilience waiting to be discovered. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, untangle the knots of trauma, anxiety, confusion, and hurt, and forge new paths toward freedom and wholeness.

When we are bogged down by stress, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or lack a sense of purpose, we disconnect from our inherent creativity. Perhaps you are navigating a tough transition, and struggle to see what you could create from it. Maybe there is a lot inside of you yearning to be expressed, but you feel stuck. I am passionate about working with artists, creatives, and/or deep feelers and thinkers dealing with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, stress, and/or overwhelm. I also love working with adults in their 20s and 30s navigating life transitions, and anyone moved to explore their creative potential.

I consider myself to be a warm, grounding individual, and am here to learn from you and walk with you on your mental health journey. I have learned a great deal about the ‘mind-body split’ and the reality that modern therapy often leaves the body and spirit out of the picture, much to our detriment. I work with clients to begin building relationships with their bodies, nervous systems, and greater selves, with the goal of increased coping skills, embodiment, resiliency and neuroplasticity.

Self Esteem Therapists
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.
