Raising a child can be an incredible experience for parents. However, parents often experience unforeseen challenges along their journey. Sometimes bringing on a therapist as a teammate can be helpful for families who are struggling to navigate these challenges. For families with neurodivergent children, building a team can be even more important. Let me be that teammate to help your child learn to regulate their emotions, communicate more effectively, and build stronger connections with peers. Together we can also work to improve family dynamics and increase self-esteem.

I specialize in kids and teens who are typically described as the "wallflower," who may not be getting the social nourishment they desire, but also don't know where or how to start. The kids and teens I work with struggle with social anxiety and self esteem issues. My clients learn how to become more self fulfilled, gain more confidence around peers, express themselves better at home with their family, and grow socially. I also offer parent sessions and family sessions for families who feel like they need the extra support for their child or adolescent.

Life can be overwhelming at times. There are many things pulling at us from all directions - family, children, work, other people - that we lose ourselves in the process. Are you trying to find out who you are and what your purpose is? Have you been trying to please others and neglecting yourself? These can contribute to a suffering that comes out as anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, or just a general dissatisfaction with life. I believe we are meant to find meaning for our lives, fulfillment in what we do and happiness in our relationships. I can help you discover this person that you are meant to be.

Do you feel like your emotions get the best of you? Do you wonder why things get under your skin and pull you into a spiral, even if part of you knows it's not rational? Do you live your life trying to avoid anxiety or sadness? Does self-criticism or feelings of worthlessness keep you stuck feeling like you're not who you'd like to be? Maybe you want to finally stop trying to run from your feelings and want to learn how to express them. Maybe your comfort zone has become stifling and you're ready to be break free.

Life can be overwhelming at times. Both our own choices and the choices of others can have long-lasting consequences on our emotional and mental health. I have experience working with survivors of emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse; those struggling with anxiety and depression; and clients in life-stage transition (i.e. young adults transitioning from college to career, postpartum women, or empty nesters).

Everyday all of us struggle with multiple demands and expectations placed upon us, both externally and from within. Sometimes the demands become overwhelming, and we find ourselves experiencing a sense of sadness we cannot name, questioning our needs and wants, or wondering what our role is. Complexities in relationships create many challenges. Couples can find themselves struggling with a multitude of emotions that vacillate from love, joy and pleasure to disappointment, fear, anger and resentment. Learning how to develop and sustain a connected, fulfilling, intimate relationship can be difficult but well worth the investment.

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.
