Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming.

I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self? Anxiety might be showing up as constant worry, overthinking, or difficulty saying no to others, even when it doesn’t feel right. You may struggle with people-pleasing, feeling not good enough, or trying to meet everyone’s expectations. Trauma or past experiences may still affect you, and big life changes might feel especially challenging. You want clarity, peace, and practical tools to regain control, break free from old patterns, and build confidence and self-acceptance.

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.
