I help clients reach the goals they value. This often includes taking time to connect to what you feel is important to you, even if it feels like you’ve ‘lost’ certain good parts of yourself or things you used to enjoy. Whether it's self-care, relationships, or changing situations that feel ‘stuck,’ we can turn hope into a good life. In therapy, we can better understand what roadblocks or patterns need to change. We can adjust expectations, set boundaries, learning new strategies, from day one.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in trauma, anxiety, and depression with a trauma focused therapy certification. Rather than simply managing the symptoms, the therapy aims to solve core causes that are often carried for many years. Due to this, most of my clients frequently see significant improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. As a trauma informed counselor, I do not ask my clients to share the details and re-experience their wounds.

Many people come to a counselor not knowing what to expect. The hardest part about coming to counseling is being willing to open up to an outside person about your most significant struggles and stressors in life. Opening up to a counselor means getting unbiased support and feedback to empower you to make the best decisions for yourself and/or your family. I aim to foster your healing, grow your self-confidence, and improve your self-image.

Have you noticed yourself or your marriage running on autopilot? Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed with everything on your plate? Are you feeling lost or alone? Life, parenting, marriage – it can all be challenging, and none of it comes with a roadmap. When we’re faced with life’s tough issues, we often forget to take care of ourselves. But it is possible to break out of old patterns and find a better path to happiness.

You believe that if people get to know you they won't like you. You call yourself mean names when things go wrong. You rely solely on yourself because reaching out isn't worth it. The daily sense of worthlessness, uselessness or feeling unwanted in the world is a heavy burden to carry. It makes everything you do ten times harder as you risk feeling even more pain. But you do want help. You're here reading. You do still have the tiny hope that something out there might be able to help.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

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.
