Do you struggle with feeling like you’re never "good enough," dealing with painful past experiences, or facing ongoing relationship problems that are affecting your life? Is your day-to-day filled with disconnection, loneliness, & exhaustion from constantly wearing a mask to hide how much you’re struggling inside? You’ve tried self-help books and maybe even been to therapy before, but it hasn’t led to the growth or change you desperately want in your life & relationships. You wonder if things can really be different—if you could finally feel secure, connected, and confident in who you are. I believe it doesn’t have to be this hard!

I am passionate about co-creating narratives of identity and experience that clients find empowering. I believe that looking at the ways sexism, racism, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, and other oppressions impact our lives helps us see things more clearly, and reduce the guilt and shame we carry. I cater mostly to clients who believe they are “too sensitive,” and working to make peace with their mind and emotions. I am elated to work with anyone who would like to build self esteem, healthier relational patterns, and a more authentic life. I'm also passionate about therapeutically integrating experiences from psychedelic medicines.

My clients are intelligent, curious, creative, and sensitive people who seek to deepen their relationships with their bodies, themselves, others, and that which is greater.

I specialize in life transitions using a holistic mind-body approach in order to help you achieve increased clarity so that you are able to make the best decisions for your personal journey. I understand life is full of transitions that come with multiple challenges. Challenges that bring up feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, and lowering of self-esteem. These feelings can leave you stuck in a world of worry, making it almost impossible to visualize your desired future. My holistic mind-body approach allows you to internally integrate the changes you desire to create in your life.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which deep, lasting, positive changes emerge. Anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, relationship problems, and life transitions can prevent you from living a full life. I can help you increase your self confidence, overcome the effects of trauma, resolve past hurts and conflicts, develop confidence in yourself as a good friend and loving partner, change old patterns, and balance career and personal choices. I provide an atmosphere of acceptance and curiosity where hurts and conflicts are released, and confidence, insight, trust, and wisdom are strengthened.

I have a practical approach and do insight and emotionally based psychotherapy. I like a variety of issues and personalities. My work frequently includes self-esteem and relationship issues, transitions, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, gender and sexual issues, multicultural issues, acute and chronic trauma issues, and loss. I deeply value the therapeutic relationship and see it as the cornerstone to most of what happens in psychotherapy.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages, from college students to elders, who are experiencing grief and loss, other life transitions, family of origin or self esteem issues, anxiety and depression.
Any of us, from adults to very young children, can experience life challenges that require the caring support of other people. Sometimes we need help to navigate these challenges, and to heal, reorient, and move forward in our lives toward better health and wholeness. When the emotional support of friends and family is not enough, establishing a safe, collaborative relationship with a psychotherapist can be a valuable resource.

"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

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.
