Is there a part of you that is afraid your authentic self is not good enough or will not be accepted? But also a part of you that is aching to explore your true nature and desires? I help my clients to reconcile these parts of themselves to be able to live an inner and outer life that feels congruent. Grief is an inherent part of life, and comes up when facing identity changes, breakups, and deaths. I help clients process their grief by guiding them through these complex emotions, offering tools to express pain and honor their loved ones. Together, we explore how grief impacts their identity, relationships, and sense of purpose.

Many of the clients that I work with are people who are processing the factors that are impacting them as individuals today. Parent's are able to explore a space where they are validated and empowered. Much of the work that we do is rooted in identity and discovering what it is they need, not what they have been socialized into thinking they need. Together we explore experiences and dynamics that have occurred throughout their lifetime. Marginalized populations come to me to learn more about themselves and the ways in which they interact with the world around them including exploring family of origin issues.

There are times when everyone needs support, advice and new ways of coping. Whether you are struggling with a particular issue or just feel "stuck", I can help. As a licensed clinician and the founder of PRP, I have spent the last 17 years studying evidence and science based approaches to psychotherapy and the treatment of emotional/psychological issues in some of the country's best universities, including Northwestern University and UW-Madison. These experiences have allowed me to develop a holistic therapeutic approach where I integrate complementary researched-informed modalities to offer personalized and effective treatments.

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.
