Waitlist for new clients
I believe we heal by accepting ourselves, transforming our challenges, and taking action - not through endless analysis of the darkness. I help clients reclaim a free and joyful life with presence and passion. Being present for the full range of emotions can be a gift and a valuable guide in setting boundaries, building self-esteem and self-worth, and recovering from codependency, trauma, and anxiety. I help clients connect to their feelings in a supportive, collaborative environment. With genuine understanding and self-compassion, healing can be invigorating instead of terrifying.

I strive to help clients that are having difficulties living life for themselves. I pride myself on being a counselor who is professional but approachable. When you share your story, I see the unique individual separate from the problems that you are facing. My goal is to help people nurture their self-esteem and recognition of personal freedom. Along with recognizing freedom comes with personal responsibility and accountability. I bring empathy and connection to the table to help recognize their own capabilities and creativities to navigate problems from the inter-personal to societal.

Your student will better understand who they are as a learner which can improve self esteem.
Finding the right support for your child can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Do you have questions about your student's academic ability or if their needs are being appropriately met in school? Students who have learning differences such as gifted and talented, twice exceptional, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, may not always receive what they need both academically and social emotionally. As a trained and nationally certified school psychologist, I have a thorough understanding of how children process information, barriers to learning, appropriate interventions and supports offered in the schools.

I work with clients who are experiencing problems that are typically long-standing, repetitive, and significantly interfering with their life. Some examples would include unsatisfying or unstable relationships, history of anxiety and depression, feeling they can't "be seen" or get their needs met, and living with emotional pain, chronic shame and disconnection from self. Client's often want to explore the impact of their early life and development, or focus on increasing their self-esteem and wellbeing, and many want to gain a deeper understanding of their patterns. Psychotherapy is an effective way to heal and live courageously.

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.
