As a Certified Anxiety Specialist with additional training in Maternal Mental Health, I specialize in supporting moms, new moms, and moms-to-be. I also work with all individuals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, stress management, self-esteem challenges, infertility, or the transition to motherhood, I’m here to help. I bring not only professional expertise but also personal experience and empathy to my practice. I understand that becoming a mom is an incredible journey—one that is often misrepresented by societal expectations. It’s okay to feel all the emotions, and it’s normal to not have all the answers.

Sometimes it feels like we are doing everything we can to hold it all together and yet it's not getting any better. You are definitely not alone! I grew up in a small town but moved to Fredericton 12 years ago to acquire my BA in Psychology & Sociology, and my Masters in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in addition to a Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT). When I'm not fuelling my soul with sports, friends/family and some yummy food at a local restaurant, I am in the office doing my dream job of supporting children, youth and adults as they find ways to feel their best.

Do you remember when you were learning how to ride a bike? Undoubtedly, the process of learning was through trial, error, and perhaps guidance from a caregiver. It’s a common conception that a therapist’s role is to give advice. That is not the case. My role in our therapeutic relationship is to guide you through the process – just like learning to ride a bike for the first time. It takes effort, time, and perhaps some discomfort…But the “aha” moment of finding balance brings a sense of freedom and independence.

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.
