My work focuses on how early life experiences, childhood trauma, and subtle social conditioning shape our adult patterns, including anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and repeating behaviours that no longer serve us.
Therapy with me is collaborative, safe, and paced according to your needs. I don’t believe in pushing or pathologising. Instead, we work with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your nervous system and life experience. My role is to help you understand why you feel the way you do, so change feels natural rather than forced.

I work with adults who experience anxiety, emotional distress or relationship difficulties, particularly when these feel longstanding, confusing or hard to shift. This might include difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, repeating patterns of conflict, family stress, parenting feeling overwhelming or a persistent sense of disconnection or loneliness. Many people I work with want to make sense of how their past and relational experiences influence the way they react and respond today. I also support children experiencing anxiety, stress or emotional regulation difficulties and work closely with caregivers.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and have nearly 20 years experience in treating mental health conditions in adolescents, adults and older adults. I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). In my journey as a therapist, I found CBT was not reaching the heart of the issue for my clients and was a surface level treatment. I searched for more and found ISTDP to have a more complete understanding of the human person and how to treat psychological problems. However, my journey has not stopped there. As I now use Affective State Therapy (AST), which has been a progression from ISTDP.

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.
