I specialize in adolescents counseling, self-esteem, and women's issues, being a mother.
My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in finding their own path to improve overall health and quality of life through a greater understanding of self, relationships and happiness. You are tired of feeling the way you do, and that's okay. It is brave to take this first step, and I am thankful for your courage to act. As a former teacher and school counselor, I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression and school related issues, etc. I have seen how demanding this period of life can be and how having the right support system in place can make all the difference.

I work with all ages who are dealing with fears, anxiety and stress. The pressures of life whether it’s your job, school, relationships, infertility or a traumatic event can leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, unloved, lonely, and broken.

You've built a life that looks, from the outside, like proof that you're fine. You seem to handle everything — and handle it well. But there's something that doesn't feel right. You know things happened that shaped you, and you've done your best to outrun them. You're tired— bone-tired. The kind that comes from spending decades being the most together person in every room, when underneath that, you're not so sure who you actually are anymore.

I have been serving clients suffering from trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and self esteem issues for over 13 years.

I founded Chaos Therapy around a simple but radical idea: life is chaotic, and the goal isn't to eliminate the chaos but to find the order within it. If you've been told you're too much, too complicated, too sensitive, too far gone, you are exactly who I built this practice for.
I'm not your typical therapist, and that's by design. With over 20 years in social services, I've worked alongside people in some of the most demanding, complex, and overlooked corners of human experience: inpatient and in-home therapy, homeless outreach, and academic research. That breadth isn't just my résumé, it's shaped how I think about healing.

Life provides us with many challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed or unsure of our ability to successfully cope.

You already know something isn't right. You just haven't had the space to figure out what to do about it. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and the quiet but persistent question of whether they are enough. A lot of my clients come in feeling like they should have figured things out by now, or like what they're going through isn't serious enough to ask for help. It is. And you don't have to keep managing it alone.

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Maybe you’re the person everyone thinks has it together (but your brain didn’t get the memo), anxiety won’t let you relax, ADHD has you juggling 47 tabs (mentally and literally), OCD keeps demanding certainty, you're navigating a new season of life, or life has thrown you a curveball you weren’t expecting. You don’t need someone to just nod along. You want real conversations, practical tools, and a therapist who will meet you where you are. Together, we’ll make sense of the chaos, build on your strengths, and help life feel a little lighter (and hopefully a little more fun too!).

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.
