Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Therapy can be life-changing—but it can also feel intimidating. Esther understands this well. Coming from a background where counseling wasn’t always accepted, her own search for support felt overwhelming and uncertain. Now, as a therapist, she helps others navigate that same journey—especially those asking, “How do I find someone who truly gets me?”
Esther takes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and integrates tools from:
Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, AEDP (Level 2), Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), EFFT, Somatic work, and, Motivational Interviewing.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you've been carrying things on your own for a long time.
