I provide a warm, accepting environment, where my clients are able to feel safe to express themselves. I like to use humor, where appropriate, but I am very sensitive to the pain that my clients are experiencing. I believe that people can change and adjust at any point in life, when they are provided with good support.

I believe a good working relationship can be one of the foundations of effective therapy, and some of my greatest natural strengths lie in the area of creating a relationship with you characterized by safety, trust and collaboration. The working environment we create will be especially helpful for those with depression, personality and relationship issues. I am comfortable with shorter-term work, but also recognize that some work takes additional time with a therapist in order to explore issues in greater depth and to generate lasting and meaningful change.

I have a warm and open relational style that communicates value and worth to my clients. My goal is to elicit your own strengths to make the change that you want. Too much guidance takes away your own autonomy, and too little keeps you confused, but finding the balance is one of the keys to good therapy. My clients appreciate my client centered and accepting style and most of my referrals come from previous client's recommendations. I have extensive experience with addiction, codependence, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, OCD, perfectionism, and ADHD.

Trauma can bring about changes that are beyond your control, but healing empowers you to make the changes you choose. Starting therapy with a new therapist can be especially challenging when you have experienced trauma. I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages navigate trauma, dissociative issues, ADHD, and more. Many of my clients seek my support after trying multiple therapists or doctors who couldn't quite identify the core issues, or because they didn't feel a meaningful connection with them. Additionally, they seek connection and guidance to heal from trauma, which is central to my therapeutic approach.

Healing takes courage, and I believe that we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. This is a stance I take when working with clients who have trauma, addiction, gambling, or other mental health struggles. I work with teens and adults, who are seeking a supportive and understanding environment where they can be authentic and vulnerable. Their goals include overcoming past traumas, breaking free from addictive behaviors, managing codependent tendencies, and addressing unresolved issues. My hope and goal is to help clients thrive and find peace in their lives.

Are you struggling with racing or distorted thoughts? Has that impacted your relationships with others or even the way you see yourself? I believe that our past experiences impact our present lives, which can leave us feeling out of alignment with our true selves. By providing a warm, non-judgmental space, clients are safe to engage in self-exploration. By becoming self-aware, it can help lead to living an authentic and fulfilling life.

Are you navigating the complexities of life that affects both your professional and personal life? Life is a journey in which each person walks through specific experiences that no other person can fully understand. As a therapist, I feel it is an honor and privilege to compassionately and empathetically listen as I walk with a person through an uncomfortable, vulnerable time in their life.

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.
