You sign off of work for the day and push out a deep sigh. Okay, the day was productive, but you feel drained. There are the plans you have with friends this weekend, that's something to look forward to. A small knot twists in your stomach as you remember feeling low-key out of the loop the last time you were all together. Shrugging it off as you think of what you'll order for dinner, your mind does its over-thinking thing again. Your break-up- was that your fault? Not this again, you roll your eyes, frustrated with yourself for continuing to think about it. Why won't your mind just quiet down? Everything is "fine," isn't it?

ARE YOU BROKEN AND HURT ON THE INSIDE? On the outside everything looks fine. You look like you have it all together and to others your life looks great. But on the inside you feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and depressed. Are past traumas interfering with your life now? Maybe you struggle with setting boundaries which often leaves you feeling depleted and unloved. Maybe your questioning some of the choices you have made and need a space to figure out how to put your life back in order because right now everything feels out of control. Is the anxiety keeping you up at night? Is the depression starting to take you down?

I am often described as a warm, empathic person who creates a comfortable, supportive, and safe therapeutic environment. Unlike the distant, silent psychoanalyst stereotype, I am a real person in the room. I respond to what you tell me, ask questions, and will even share a laugh with you. My approach is based on the premise that relationships are essential in shaping who we are as people and how we experience the world.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience. So many times we go through the stresses of life such as relationships, work, finances, self-doubt, and self-esteem; appearing on the outside to have it all together but on the inside feeling depressed or overwhelmed. What would happen if everyone accepted that it is okay to not always be okay? I invite you to a nurturing and non-judgmental space where you feel seen and supported. Together, we can work through these feelings while also working on building greater self-awareness, developing coping skills, and improving overall well-being.

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.
