Self Esteem Therapists in 97317

I work with women who want to feel empowered, encouraged and build confidence and self-esteem. I will help you embrace your unique strengths, build resilience against life's challenges and overcome self-limiting beliefs. Together, we'll explore and enhance your self-esteem, fostering a positive self-image that empowers you in all aspects of your life. Whether you're navigating relationship shifts, career changes, parenting challenges and/or personal growth, I'm here to support you through life's transitions.

Therapy provides a supportive framework to be present with life's ups and downs and examine life experiences in a new way. This exploration can help you understand yourself better, break old patterns, accept yourself radically, enrich your relationships, and grow. Regardless of your unique process, I believe you have the inherent wisdom and resilience to be present, heal, find joy & ease, and love yourself more. My approach is collaborative, relational, and emotion-focused, with a little humor thrown in. I have over 15 years experience as a social worker and therapist in various settings including hospitals and integrative health.

I am autistic, and a neurodiversity-affirming professional. This means I do not seek to change others, but focus on strength and adaptation, not assimilation. We can dig into life's fundamental questions: Who am I, what do I want, why am I here, and who should journey with me? I am not a therapist, but instead, I specialize in consulting and coaching those who want to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Our work together might focus on recovering from past mistakes, understanding how we came to those mistakes, and learning to make different choices and decisions in the future. It might be learning to say no.

I enjoy working with clients from all different backgrounds who are willing to make a change in their life. Counseling can be hard at times, yet very rewarding, and it is important to find the right counselor for you. I practice from a primarily Solution Focused background while including techniques from CBT, REBT, and Adlerian theory. I aim to bring honesty, authenticity, and reliability into each session.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to move through their emotional trauma and become the best versions of themselves. My modality is to work with the clients who are struggling with grief, loss, anxiety, depression, identity. disorders and much more. My hope is that each person is treated with dignity and respect while working on their therapeutic goals.

“Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” I see my life as a mission to help others see themselves in their original beauty, to learn the truth about who they are so they can be set free, to assist them in opening to their own unique destiny, and to work through beliefs and behaviors that keep them trapped in old ways of being. This is work I have had to do on myself, and still continue to do. I believe in using a holistic approach, which addresses every level of our being - the body, emotions, mind, and spirit.

Accepting NEW Clients (ages 18-65) as of 6/3/24 for Medication Management (I am not taking clients for therapy). Appointments are available in 2 weeks. Complete the Patient Inquiry Form on my website. You will receive a response the same or next day. My practice is primarily composed of adults struggling with anxiety and depression. I find that people reach out to treatment when excessive worry, low motivation, and negative thinking can lead to feeling less confident in their work, behind on tasks at home, and impacting their relationships. I don't treat ADHD and I don't prescribe controlled substances, such as Xanax for anxiety.
