The individual can be struggling with life challenges that have left them feeling sad and despair while holding on to the status quo.

While change is difficult, it is never too late! My clients have ranged in age through 97. I see both individuals and families dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues. I am warm, encouraging, a strong motivator, and honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. To that end, I try to tailor my methods to the individual needs of the client - utilizing psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy modes.
As a feature of my practice, I make house calls to elderly or infirm clients in my local area.

It just won't stop. Life feels like a constant fight to stay above water. The sadness, the pain, the monotony of it all, is dragging you down. It's a constant fight against depression, but you aren't sure why. Once upon a time, you felt the possibility of happiness and joy, but now it's all about going through the motions, fighting against the sadness. And it's getting harder and harder to fake it. You're starting to wonder about the meaning of life; what the purpose of all of this is. You've tried coaching, talking to friends, maybe even some therapists, but nothing is sticking and you desperately need help getting out of this fog.

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.

Have you tried to push through depression, codependency, low self esteem, anxiety or weak interpersonal relationships for a long time? Surrender your old story & become willing to embrace a new one. I’ve felt alone, misunderstood and hopeless, and know the value of having had the support of those who believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. Fortunately, there is a way to change behaviors by learning to think & feel differently.

Over the past 18+ years, my role as a therapist, has been to be a guide. One who is taking you on a journey to emotional well-being and discovery of your authentic self. This self is the part of you not defined by your job, function or role. It's the blending of all your skills, talents and wisdom. Embracing your authentic self allows you to break free from roles other people may have placed you in. This means that what you say in life aligns with not only your words and thoughts but also your actions. Not being one's own authentic self can be at the root of anxiety, depression, frustration, anger and even relationships problems.

Working with individuals, couples, teens and children I have come to understand that we all want to be heard so that we may experience a healthier, productive life. Often, we experience conflict and troublesome behaviors that prevent us from feeling happy and satisfied. Depression, anxiety and a myriad of other self-defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with our everyday relationships and can cause many difficulties in our lives. My approach is to work closely with you, through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your needs.

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.
