I have the experience and expertise to help you feel better about yourself, improve your relationships with others. and meet school, work or retirement goals. I work in a direct, nonjudgemental manner. I offer empathy and understanding and patience.

Understanding the past and having compassion for oneself frees us to feel better about ourselves and others. Letting go of resentments and learning to accept ourselves and others is an important goal in therapy.

Everyone deserves a good life. Emotional wellness is an ability to cope effectively with life and build satisfying relationships with others. I believe the positive relational bond is characterized by personal warmth, empathy and acceptance. The positive relationship builds up the trust and encourages the self-disclosure. I will create a comfortable, supportive and reliable environment for clients where they feel more comfortable to explore their feelings, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves, set personal goals, work toward desired change and achieve the desired outcome.

Welcome to your mental health journey. For many, the idea of therapy can be filled with mystery. When someone thinks of therapy, they might imagine an old chaise lounge, conversations focused on childhood, or being told what to do. Sometimes, therapy can involve a chaise lounge and may also be about childhood but therapists rarely answer the question "What should I do?". As your therapist, I provide a safe space and help you develop the effective coping tools that you need to find your path and take action that matches your values to rediscover yourself.

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.
