My passion is working with individuals of all backgrounds to help deal with trauma, anxiety, identity and self esteem.
Clients say: I feel really stuck and I don't know where to go from here. Everything seems kind of hopeless and the world...it's a mess. I know I gotta find the courage to reach out. Find someone who gets what I'm going through and can help me figure it out without all the judgment. It's just taking that first leap that feels impossible right now.

My specialties are depression, anxiety, women's issues, relationship issues, communication skills, anger management, self esteem, and assertiveness skills/boundary setting (getting out of toxic relationships).
I enjoy helping people to see how amazing they are - we can lose sight of this fast when not feeling our best. I have a very down to earth approach and I'm all about identifying and using your own strengths to solve issues, foster and build empowerment, and move past shame and self criticism. Therapy is different for each person depending on your needs, preferences, and goals. The experience should be judgement free, safe, and understanding, which is crucial. I have been practicing through the lens of constant anti racism, anti imperialism, anti oppression and Liberation focused training, which I place the utmost importance on.

I can best help you when you have felt challenged by life, relationships and stressors that many people face in their life. Have you found that despite various efforts to find solutions you're left dissatisfied? This happens because to achieve significant and lasting changes one must access the self-esteem that resides deep within us. Traditional methods of change fail to impact at this level. My longstanding experience and success using EMDR enables us to significantly improve your self-esteem while making life's challenges more manageable and resolutions achievable.

First time in therapy? Having a hard time finding a young yet experienced male therapist? I have immediate openings and can’t wait to hear from you. I specialize in working with men, especially those curious about therapy but maybe hesitant to try. I also specialize in working with women who are more comfortable with a male therapist. Men especially have been taught to bury their feelings and power through tough times. Or even that therapy is for weak people. This has left so many men feeling stressed, alone, misunderstood, and with nobody to talk with. Let's work through your challenges in a judgment free, confidential space.

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.
