You're carrying more than most people see. You might look like you're holding it all together, but underneath, you're tired—burnt out from managing the weight of it all. You're a woman navigating the complexities of life, faith, and identity, all while wrestling with daily realities of living with Type 1 Diabetes. Maybe you've just been diagnosed and are overwhelmed and scared. You're desperate for someone who gets it...the exhaustion of all the numbers, fighting insurance, the trauma of a body that won’t cooperate. Someone who knows the emotional weight of chronic illness, and the quiet grief of dreams that had to shift.

I help individuals who have learned to function through pain, battling long-standing patterns that haven’t shifted despite their best efforts. Many of my clients come in carrying doubts—wondering if therapy can really help their challenges or if they will just be misunderstood. My approach is rooted in both science and a deep respect for each person's lived experience. I offer a steady, compassionate space where healing can reach even the places that once felt out of reach.

Are you looking to turn insight into action this year? Repeating habits rooted in emotional wounds can be painful and exhausting. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who notice dysfunctional interpersonal patterns showing up in their relationships today. Together, we identify the parts of ourselves (such as perfectionist or self-sabotaging parts) that keep these cycles going and work to gently disrupt patterns rooted in fear and trauma. By increasing awareness of the mechanisms that once helped us survive, we can access our true selves and live more intentionally.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! You may be feeling anxious and caught in patterns of people pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout, wanting to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships but not knowing how to get there. You might be struggling to find your voice, set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations and the pressure to keep everyone else happy, exhausted from white-knuckling your way through life. Over time, it can feel like you’re stuck in cycles of self doubt and second guessing, unsure why these patterns keep showing up.

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a licensed therapist in Colorado and Oregon, and I know how overwhelming anxiety can feel. If it ever seems like anxiety is in the driver’s seat, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I have extensive experience working in higher levels of care treating OCD and anxiety disorders, which has given me a deep appreciation for both the real challenges these conditions create and the evidence-based strategies that help people move forward. My goal is to support you in building understanding, skills, and tools so you can relate to anxiety in a way that feels empowering rather than limiting.

You've probably tried talking about it. And talking helped, until it didn't. Maybe you think deeply, feel everything intensely, and still can't figure out why you keep ending up in the same patterns. You don't want another list of coping skills. You want to actually get yourself and understand where these patterns came from, why they stick, and how to finally move differently. That's the work I am so passionate about!

I support adults navigating self-esteem, identity development, and life direction concerns.
You may feel stuck in self-doubt, overthinking, or the quiet pressure to “have it all figured out.” You might struggle with confidence, imposter syndrome, or uncertainty about who you are or where you’re headed. Often, these challenges show up as anxiety, perfectionism, or difficulty trusting yourself and your choices. What you want is clarity, self-trust, and a steadier sense of direction—without having to perform, push, or become someone you’re not.

If you lack balance in your relationships, have work stress, lack self esteem, have poor body image or unusual eating habits, or have a desire to stay in control, you can learn to shift towards living a calm, and value-aligned authentic life.
I've been working virtually since 2016, and get comments about how easy it is to feel connected and comfortable in video sessions with me. My style is to listen, then provide you with various skills to help you in the present time, which helps you empower your life to align with your best self. I appreciate being humorous and light, and can also be pretty challenging to help you grow. I will not sit back and just nod... I give homework and help you make changes week to week. Our first session will feel different than ongoing sessions: the first is called an Initial Assessment.

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.
