Some of our deepest hurts come through our relationships with others, and so does our most profound healing. My commitment is to bring that essential component into every session. By creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathetic atmosphere, I will work along side you to explore and unpack your emotions, thoughts, reactions, and behaviors embodied by your experiences. I will help you make sense of the reasons you are struggling and assist you to think about what might help. The opportunity to think and talk about your difficulties in a reflective manner can create a sense of relief as well as help you to make meaningful changes.

Hi there! Firstly, thank you for being here. As a psychologist, I believe in a collaborative and client centred approach to therapy. I am truly passionate about assisting individuals in navigating life's transitions, fostering emotional regulation, nurturing personal confidence and self-esteem, providing support during times of grief and loss, and cultivating a healthier mindset. By re-authoring the stories we tell ourselves and challenging the negative beliefs we may hold, our minds can be a safe space again. Additionally, I find great joy in using humour in my practice.

Do you wake up in the morning already feeling overwhelmed, and the day hasn’t started yet? Many adults go through times when they feel stuck, unfulfilled, and have difficulties coping with stress. This can be a very painful experience. Unfortunately, many people try to cope with these challenges alone and in unhealthy ways (overworking, toxic relationships, emotional eating, etc.). This can lead to a feeling of a lost sense of self and affect all areas of their life.

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.
