Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems.

The decision to start therapy can feel intimidating for many reasons. It can also lead to profound benefits that impact all aspects of your life. Choosing the right therapist is the first step in this process. It's important to find someone who you feel you can trust and who can provide you with the understanding and support that is right for you. One of my goals as a therapist is to create a collaborative environment in which we can safely explore, and make meaning from, life experiences.

I approach my therapeutic work as my genuine self, incorporating humor, directness, and accountability in our sessions, to build rapport and challenge clients towards their identified goals. I recognize societal and other life-factors that impact/influence each individual, gaining understanding of each person’s unique framework for moving through the world. I believe a diagnosis defines a constellation of symptoms, it does not define a person. I also value and welcome feedback in order to provide the best possible clinical care - and it's a beautiful place to practice self-advocacy.

I have special interest in working with people whose lives are affected by perfectionism and low self esteem.
Do you often feel like you are not “good enough”? Or do you have a “Critical Voice” in your head that berates you and everything you do/not do? The “voice” may have been helpful at one time, but has moved from being helpful to becoming a punitive task master. So, now you turn to Google or You Tube to try to solve this problem. Maybe it is time to consider getting help, and maybe the help is available through therapy. I have successfully helped individuals with these types of problems. My client base is mostly people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, adult ADHD and problems related to alcohol and drug use.

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.
