Establishing therapeutic alliance with my clients is the foundation of my psychotherapy work. I am a strong advocate for cultural competency, and also believe that clients, although experiencing some challenges, are experts in their own lives and are seeking some support and guidance through therapy. Furthermore, I support my clients in exploring issues such as emotional difficulties, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, and family conflict. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to explore solutions and coping strategies to overcome these barriers.

If overwhelm, procrastination, anxiety, poor time management, trouble with focus, and low self-esteem are standard parts of your everyday life, you’ve likely wondered whether you have ADHD. If you haven’t gotten an official diagnosis, perhaps you’ve even accepted these as personality “flaws.” As someone who was diagnosed late in life, I can assure you that you’re not lazy, incapable, or any other hurtful adjective you’ve secretly called yourself. You just haven’t had the support to understand how your brain works.

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.
