Every season of life comes with different stress and hurdles. Those challenges can lead us to feeling overwhelmed or stuck whether that be due to relationship troubles, parenting struggles, new changes in our lives or any other reason. If you have found yourself in a pattern that is not allowing you to grow in the ways you want, I may be the right therapist for you. My clients often come to me when they are emotionally drained and just want to feel better and function better. I am here to walk alongside you and help untangle thoughts and emotions, regardless if you’ve done therapy before or are considering it for the first time.

Treatment often includes increasing self-confidence and self-esteem, exploration of interpersonal identities, and reclaiming the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves to reflect the full complexity of your lived experiences.
Empowering you to reclaim the narrative surrounding your "why" and rediscovering how you make sense of your life story is my goal. Through a narrative and strength-based approach, I support client's reconstruction of compassionate self-identity and working on building a toolbox of self-regulating skills to aid in managing discomfort in life. The experience of being seen and understood is incredibly valuable in my work to help client's release shame, embarrassment and trauma in the therapy room. Treatment goals include embracing intersectional identities; identifying, labeling and processing emotions; and building confidence.

Psychoeducation and self-esteem work are major parts of my practice as I utilize these tools to empower my clients.
My specialties lie within anxiety and depression. I work with clients aged 8 and up who experience a variety of struggles. One of the areas I love working in most is self-advocacy and people-pleasing behaviors. I aim to increase clients' awareness of their thoughts and behaviors and then find how they use this information to increase life satisfaction.

I also use creative interventions for clinical individual or group supervisions for graduate level students or LPCCs!

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.
