I appreciate your interest in my practice. Together we will set goals and work towards reaching them in a safe and comfortable environment. In addition to treating adults, working extensively with children, adolescents and families allows me to help you navigate any social, emotional, or behavioral issues that you are facing. My specialties include anxiety, depression, social concerns (including dealing with social media), academic matters, self-esteem issues, acting out behaviors and parent counseling. Although parenting can be difficult, learning strategies to deal with the day-to-day struggles will make your life easier.

Many young adults come to me for help dealing with self esteem and relationship issues.
Each person's life story is unique. I hope to help you explore the chapters of your life story that you would like to understand better and improve. These subtle changes can enhance your day to day life today. The first step is recognizing that you want to make changes and then having the courage to do so. I work collaboratively with you or your child to help you explore what can be done to make changes and relieve some of the stressors. As an expert working with the Latinex and the Orthodox Jewish population, I understand the intersection of cultural identity and mental health.

My training as an Art Therapist, Social Worker, Psychoanalyst and Life Coach provide me with a unique combination of skills and resources which I use in the service of helping my clients find clarity in life, and achieve their goals. Sometimes we feel angry, sad, frustrated, anxious and unfulfilled without really knowing why. The combination of knowing and understanding our past, in the context of our present life, provides us with an invaluable amount of information we can use to understand and change how we feel and what we do in our lives.

Anxiety, depression, sadness, loss, trauma, and anger are painful experiences that can affect one's behavior patterns, ability to cope, and quality of life. I believe in providing a compassionate space where one feels listened to, understood and not alone. From there we will work together on identifying the underlying issues that contribute to the emotional and behavioral challenges, and develop tools and strategies needed for effective ways of coping and healing.

Each of us is on a singular journey filled with joy and pain, moments of peace and moments of struggle. At times, one’s experience of struggle can be overwhelming and fraught with difficult emotions. Caught in a web of distress, we feel as if our journey has derailed. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to honestly confront one’s struggles and difficult experiences in the context of one’s entire self. In an environment of acceptance and compassion, I use a range of evidence-based techniques to help my clients approach and understand their challenges and identify ways forward that incorporate acceptance and full engagement in life.

Client’s usually seek therapy when they feel “stuck”, unable to move beyond the obstacles they are facing. I am passionate about helping people tackle life’s challenges, to help them feel more empowered and in control. Rooted in a cognitive behavioral style of therapy, I aim to help my clients identify and eventually combat harmful beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from achieving their goals and living the life they desire. I work with my clients to build a “toolkit” full of skills that they can take with them outside the therapy room.

Feeling unseen, disconnected, and frequently triggered by the close relationships in your life. You imagined that by adulthood you would have found “your people.” The ones who get you, who appreciate your authentic self and want to support you. The loneliness that comes with that disconnection is dreadful. The conflict that comes from the misalignment is painful. We ask ourselves “when will I finally arrive at my happy place?”

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.
