My areas of speciality include low self-esteem, women's empowerment, anxiety, depression, attachment trauma, and escapist or numbing behaviors. Many of us are living disconnected from ourselves, believing we are deeply flawed and broken. Unresolved trauma and present day mental health challenges can leave us feeling hopeless and deeply insecure. In therapy with me, we will explore and challenge these beliefs to help you step into the fullness of who you are. As someone who has walked this path before, I deeply understand the nuanced experience of pain, shame, healing, and growth,

Relationships bring happiness, but also create longing and loneliness. They can preoccupy us and destroy our sense of safety and self-respect.

You'll gain awareness in your first session and quickly see changes in handling emotions, conflict, and boundaries. Whether seeking individual or couple counseling, you'll find solutions, empower, and an improved sense of well-being

I place great value on equipping you with the social and psychological resources and skills necessary to thrive. It's difficult to focus on the deeper aspects of our mental health when this is left unaddressed. As a depth-oriented therapist, I also work with you to uncover your shadow—those hidden aspects of your personality that influence your life patterns. Identifying these unconscious patterns, understanding how they've been built, and why they continue to persist gives you the power of choice in how you'd like to show up to life moving forward.

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.
