Life can become overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel stuck between worrying about the future and replaying the past. Stress, trauma, anxiety, self-defeating thoughts or depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to live. Therapy offers a safe, supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space to slow down, breathe, understand the emotional weight of what you’re carrying, and begin to heal. My goal is to help you learn to give yourself grace, build resilience, challenge self-negative thoughts and recognize that you are not defined by your past or the expectations of others.

My ideal client is a business leader shaped by the pursuit of excellence—disciplined, capable, respected—yet quietly exhausted. He carries responsibility with stoic resolve, sensing that if he stops performing, love, respect, or security may fade. His struggle isn’t productivity; it’s balance. What he needs is not another system, but permission to be human. He wrestles with his own narcissism to develop a character worthy of leadership and appreciative of life.

Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Many perceive therapy as missing the opportunity to truly connect with the therapist as real people. It often feels like a professional exchange rather than a personal interaction. I’m here to guide you toward solutions and personal transformation. Let’s make this process both effective and enriching. I encourage you to pause, take a deep breath, and make that call. I’m here to assist. My greatest passion is cultivating healing and hope for individuals who have been or are undergoing traumatic/stressful experiences. Servicios en espanol.

You're the one everyone counts on. You show up, you hold it together, you handle what needs handling. From the outside, your life looks like it's working — and in many ways, it is. You've built something. You're capable, self-aware, and you've probably done therapy before. But underneath, there's a quieter exhaustion. A nervous system that won't fully settle. Patterns you can name but can't seem to shift. Reactions that feel bigger than the moment calls for. A sense that talking about it hasn't been the same as resolving it, and you're ready for something that actually moves the needle.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're investing in your growth. I want you to know one thing: you have value. As a counselor, I am dedicated to helping people see that they are worthy of care and attention.

I especially enjoy working with individuals and older teens. I use an emotionally focused, attachment-based, psychodynamic approach.

"I'm trying to keep it together, but I'm struggling." "I'm worried all the time." "I feel stuck, like I'm trying to fix it alone."

Life's messy and complicated, and you weren't as prepared as you would have liked for the curveballs. Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time. How your problems express themselves in your life may look different than it might for someone else, and those distinctions are really important.

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.
