I work with adolescents and adults in treatment areas that include anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, relational problems, attachment, parenting, communication issues, self esteem, and women’s issues.
It may have been a long time since considering therapy or feeling a need for additional support. I understand it can be overwhelming to initially take the first step. I want you to feel you can reach out today without knowing where to begin. My approach to therapy is understanding where you are in the present moment and working collaboratively with you step-by-step. You may have your own ideas to treatment, and I am open to understanding those ideas to work with you to achieve your goals. We can work together to integrate research based interventions into your treatment.

Feeling overwhelmed? Looking for a therapist isn't easy. You may be reading profile after profile thinking all of these people sound the same or may have no idea what any of this means. You’re not alone! Most people don’t care about the interventions or methods of therapy used. They just want to feel better! I believe the answer to feeling better lies in the connection.

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.
