Healthy relationships begin with you. When you have a full plate you may feel irritable and exhausted and that you and your relationships need some TLC. You may feel resentful and/or angry and you may not know why or you may be unclear about what to do about it. You may be listening and living your life according to your inner critic, which can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and never feeling good enough instead of loving yourself and having the freedom to be who you are truly meant to be. Your ways of coping may be keeping you hanging on by a thread, but they also may be causing you pain and not addressing underlying forces.

I have counseling experience working with adolescents, couples, individuals, and families struggling with a variety of emotional, psychological, and spiritual concerns, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, couple stress and difficulty, grief and loss, adolescent issues, sexual pain and difficulties, life transitions, and
self esteem
issues.
Life is hard, and most of us experience symptoms of sadness and stress at some point in our lives. It can be overwhelming trying to understand the source of our pain and determine the best path for healing. It is my belief that relationships are both the cause and the context of healing for many of our difficulties. Unfortunately, many of us struggle in our relationships and find that they contribute stress and tremendous pain to our lives. I am passionate about offering support for the relationships in your life and helping them become a source of connection and trust.

Are you struggling with chronic anxious thoughts, low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, or chronic pain syndromes? If you have been feeling stuck in physical or emotional pain, it is important to know that you are not alone in this, and that there is support available. I understand the interconnectedness of trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. I know that these experiences can cause anger, resentment, and hopelessness, and hinder the joy and quality of life. However, they are temporary and treatable. I know this because I have been there myself.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

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.
