Becoming more conscious, more aware of your complexities and psychological barriers provides opportunities for renewal of your life's potentials. Depth Psychotherapy rests on the premise that there is a natural, self regulating urge of the psyche which seeks its own wholeness. This natural propensity towards wholeness emerges out of the archetypes, universally inherited potentialities that express and maintain all that is uniquely human. In a Depth Psychotherapy experience, exploration of the unconscious dimensions of one's being promotes access to the creative archetypal potentials which activate authentic healing.

In life's journey, issues, challenges, and hard decisions come up. Are you looking for a therapist who can help without judging, labeling, or making assumptions? As an experienced clinician, I recognize that if I am not grateful to help everyone, then I am not qualified to help anyone. I pride myself on creating a safe and supportive space to work collaboratively with my clients to overcome complex traumas, relational stressors, and barriers to their happiness and satisfaction with life.

I'm a licensed psychologist and a marriage therapist. I have a specialty practice in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I hold a diplomate from the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists and I'm registered with the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. All this fades into the background when I am with my patients. What matters is understanding and connecting with the person in front of me. I treat adults and adolescents who are mature enough to participate in talk therapy. My work is primarily with individuals and marital couples, but I also work with whole family systems when it is appropriate.

Self Esteem Therapists

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.
