Hi there, I highly value meeting clients where they’re at. I aim to provide a warm, relational, and trauma informed space that focuses on empowerment, safety, and collaboration with my clients. I believe that therapy is a space where clients’ voices and stories should be heard and validated. I believe that when clients are met with empathy and validation, they can begin to do that for themselves and others. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and work with teens and adults affected by trauma and who have difficulties with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and suicidality.

I believe that generational trauma, attachment style, family upbringing, intersectionality and cultural conditioning all influence how we experience the world. It is up to us to identify and unlearn maladaptive patterns of behavior. My goal is to help you feel connected to yourself and others through increased self-awareness. Most of my professional experience has been working with individual kids, adolescents and adults on problems related to self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, identity development, among other things.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to look at their issues and be willing to change. I feel the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort conducted in a safe and caring environment. The relationship between the therapist and the client is as important in the healing process as any techniques that are used. I feel it is important to empower individuals to go out and live a rich and fulfilling life. I certainly believe that it is a privilege and an honor to participate in helping people heal through their life's most challenging times.

Struggling with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or uncertainty? Maybe you feel stuck in patterns shaped by your past, making it hard to trust yourself or move forward. You show up for others but struggle to recognize and honor your own needs and voice. I help my clients move from anxiety, overthinking and "analysis paralysis" to embodiment, self-trust, confidence in their lives. So much of what holds us back isn’t conscious—it’s wired into our nervous system, which is why I help my clients through a "bottom up approach", meaning we work a lot with the body through tools like Somatic Experiencing and IFS parts work.

Your mind is constantly running—like a hundred tabs open all at once. You start one task, then jump to another… and then another. You feel wired and tired at the same time. You find it easier to show up for others than to prioritize your own needs. Setting boundaries feels uncomfortable, maybe even guilt-inducing. On the outside, you appear strong and capable—but inside, you're overwhelmed, drained, and wondering why it feels so hard. You try to keep it together—but inside, you're struggling. You’re not alone. And you’re not broken. But you are ready for meaningful change—and you're willing to put in the work to get there.

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.
