Some examples of life transitions: grief and loss, challenges growing a family, death and dying, anxiety/ depression, starting a family, self esteem/self worth, dating/marriage, divorce, new job/new home, graduating, retirement, empty-nest, menopause, illness, identity/sexual orientation issues, addiction/recovery (including eating disorders), aging & anything unique to you that causes change.
You can have an amazing life; the life you've always wanted. As an expert in counseling surrounding death and dying, I have discovered that the issues encountered due to grief and loss are the same with all life transitions. This is even true for those transitions that are positives in our lives. This concept is what drives my approach to assisting you through life's transitions with ease and comfort. This will give you the opportunity to create a life of peace, love and joy. I look forward to being a part of your journey

Here you are again! You’re disconnected from your dreams and not living the life you imagined you would. Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself and now everything’s falling apart. You have some ideas why this is happening, and you’ve made several attempts to get yourself back on track. Nothing makes you feel any better about yourself. None of the changes you make seem to stick. You’re not sure how to navigate all the obstacles in your way. At the end of the day, you’re still overwhelmed and stuck with a life and relationships that leave you unfulfilled. Things keep getting worse despite your best efforts.

Be a better you. People seek out therapy for several reasons. Self-exploration, growth, change, and learning new coping strategies are just a few reasons. Finding a therapist to guide and support you along the way will make these tasks simpler and possibly even enjoyable. I treat individuals, couples, and families looking to find relief from emotional and psychological troubles and become their best self. While treatment for Asperger's Syndrome, Anxiety, Trauma, and Depression are my specialties, I also work with people who struggle with addiction, relationship problems, sexuality uncertainties, and low self-esteem.

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.
