Hi! I'm so happy you're considering beginning therapy! I strongly believe that each therapist is a little different and its important to choose the best fit for you. Here is a little bit about me: I have worked with primarily adults and adolescents in residential facilities living with substance use disorders and other co-occurring disorders. I also have experience working with families, couples, and individuals living with mood disorders, self-harming behavior, anxiety, anger, identity/sexuality development, body image, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, personality disorders, and grief.

I specialize in the following areas: Personal growth, Unresolved trauma and Relationships. I help individuals and couples to recover from trauma (Physical, Emotional, Sexual and Child Trauma), and find relief from the pain of past experiences and relationships using EMDR and other therapy modalities. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, lack of motivation or having difficulties functioning in a daily basis I can help you get back on track. When working with couples I use Gottman techniques to help manage conflict, recover from hurt & resentments while increasing emotional intimacy.

Sometimes, we get the feeling that things could be different, but we don’t know how or where to even start. It feels like all we really need to start moving things in the right direction is for someone to listen to our thoughts, feelings, and ideas without judgement… someone to help us clear away the clutter of daily stress and self-doubt, so we can discover what we truly want out of life and find pathways towards achieving a sense of balance and contentment. Sound familiar? I’d be happy to be that “someone to listen and help”!

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.
