Whether you’re facing anxiety, low mood, self-worth struggles, relationship challenges, postpartum changes, or the weight of past trauma—you don’t have to face it alone.
I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques. But more importantly, I tailor each session to you—to what you need in that moment, and what feels manageable and meaningful.

If you’re looking for a space to slow down, make sense of what’s coming up, and feel more grounded in yourself, you don’t have to do it alone.

Feeling bad about yourself and your body can feel exhausting. Struggling with body image and eating issues can make everything feel overwhelming. When your thoughts about food and your body take over, it becomes hard to focus on anything else. This can lead to making choices around food and your body that don’t feel right, making you feel even worse. These issues can also cause emotional struggles, like constant worrying, feeling down, irritable, trapped in perfectionism, and having low energy or motivation. It can get to a point where it feels like everything is out of control.

Many of my clients come into the therapy space while navigating relationships, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to carry too much on their own.
I strive to offer a collaborative space where you can feel heard without judgment. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and I believe in meeting clients where they're at, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable and safe. At times, this may also include gently challenging patterns, beliefs, or ways of coping that may no longer be serving you.

Self Esteem Counsellors
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.
