Each of our lives is a collection of stories, and sometimes we become stuck on what unfolds in the next chapter of our lives. We need different tools to move past an obstacle and continue letting the story unfold. We can lose sight of the simple fact that despite the pain and trauma we experience, we are the author of our life.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey, where my role is to create a safe, supportive environment that encourages exploration and self-discovery. I believe that every person is the expert of their own experience. By fostering a non-judgmental and empathetic space, I empower clients to express their thoughts and feelings openly. This process allows for greater self-awareness, helping individuals to identify and articulate their needs and desires. I understand that change can be challenging, but I view it as a natural part of the human experience.

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.
