Many of my clients struggle with the strong urge to please others at their own expense. They fear disappointing their loved ones and losing these relationships. They aren't able to live authentically, feel unnecessary guilt and are stuck in a cycle of seeking approval & acceptance. This causes inner conflict, chronic stress, low self esteem and even irritability & resentment. If you have difficulty saying 'no", over committing and neglecting your own needs, you are likely suffering from people-pleasing. Remember, you can be a good person and still say "no".

Watching your teen struggle with anxiety, academic stress, or social pressures is incredibly challenging. The transition to college, with its demands to succeed, make new friends, and adapt to an entirely new environment, can feel overwhelming. If you’re a college student, you might feel more anxious or down than usual, with all the expectations and responsibilities starting to feel impossible to manage. You know something needs to change, and you’re ready to tackle this stage of life with confidence. I support teens and young adults in navigating the challenges of growing up and transitioning to college life.

Lately, the anxiety is starting to get the best of you. You find yourself overthinking every little thing, and often worry that you’re not where you thought you’d be in life. You're a woman who wants to understand herself better: how you're showing up in relationships, who "you" are outside of your responsibilities, and what gets in the way of feeling more connected within yourself and with others. You know life doesn’t have to feel like this, but with everything going on—it hasn't felt possible to find the time, space, and skills you need to create change. But now you’re ready to move beyond what's holding you back.

It is said that to the degree that you can't experience pain is to the degree that you can't experience joy. To be human is to feel and to feel is to experience both joy and sadness and everything in between. As a therapist, I help people experience joy unencumbered by losses and disappointments of the past, or by present day difficulties. I believe people heal in relationship, therefore my goal is to not only help people with their inner life, but is to equally help people connect with outer resources as well.

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.
