I work with queer, trans, neurodivergent, or geeky folks who’ve always felt a bit “different” — and who are ready to explore how that has shaped their self-esteem, their relationships, and the way they move through the world. They’re looking for a therapist who gets it — someone who can hold space without judgment and walk beside them as they grow into more self-acceptance.

Life can often feel like a rollercoaster—fast, overwhelming, and hard to predict. It’s easy to lose sight of what you need or where to turn next. I help clients slow down, find clarity, and reconnect with themselves so they can step off the ride, take a deep breath, and move forward with greater confidence. I believe the heart of effective therapy lies in a strong, trusting relationship. I take great care in building that connection from our very first meeting. Many of my clients share that they feel both reassured and motivated after our initial session, like they've finally found a space where they can finally breathe out...

Do your thoughts race so fast it feels impossible to switch off? Are you exhausted from overthinking every interaction, worrying what others think? Do you find yourself saying yes to everyone but struggling to make space for yourself? Therapy can help you quiet anxious thoughts, build the confidence to say no without guilt, and trust yourself in making decisions that serve you. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore what’s weighing on you, understand where these patterns come from, and find practical ways to challenge and change them—so you can feel calmer, more in control, and more like yourself again.

You’ve spent years second-guessing yourself, and now you’re trying to remember who you were before all the self-doubt. Maybe you've been made to feel like you're the problem - too sensitive, too emotional, too much. You second guess yourself constantly and feel responsible for everyone else’s wellbeing. Over time, that can take a real toll on your self-worth and leave you carrying a level of anxiety that’s hard to switch off, even when things are "fine." My clients are insightful and caring, but often stuck in survival mode. I offer a calm, trauma-informed space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath all the coping.

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.
