Do you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Are you struggling with relationship conflict, trauma, or loss? Do you have concerns about your identity or feelings of low self-esteem? Whatever may bring you to therapy, you deserve to have support in what you’re going through. In either in-person or virtual sessions, I prioritize providing a safe, accepting space for adults, adolescents, and children to explore a wide variety of issues. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and as a non-binary therapist, I have particular passion for working with LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive clients of any age.

Clients develop effective communication skills with their internal parts leading to a deeper understanding of themselves, resolution of internal turmoil, improved external relationships, increased self esteem, and an overall sense of wellbeing.
I love working with adolescents and adults. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling better because they finally have an understanding of what is happening inside of them and know how to move forward with the different obstacles in their lives. They essentially say, they feel “unstuck.” I guide individuals in exploring their internal system, comprised of different parts that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Have you ever said, “Well, a part of me wants this, but another part wants that?” It’s true that often we can see several sides to an issue, creating inner conflict with seemingly no resolution.

Life transitions usually become more stressful and even intimidating when doubled up with unprocessed trauma. Anxiety, stress, fear, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and/or depression are just some of the symptoms. Our brain is an incredible processing machine, which digests and organizes our experiences. But life encounters are just too many. Much of our experience, including childhood trauma, family of origin and attachment issues, can be frozen in an unawakened state. As a therapist, I work with clients to promote the processing clients need for emotional release and healing.

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.
