From the outside looking in, you’ve got it “together", but it's hard to let people know the real you-even though you want to connect. Maybe you’ve had a major loss or an overwhelming event - a death, divorce, car accident, job loss, a personal violation, etc. At times it's impossible to face. Distractions used to work, but life feels out of control and you’re exhausted. Worries hijack your focus and ability to relax and even sleep. You move from being on edge to feeling numb and checked out. Life is a roller coaster and you want to feel balance. You're your own worst critic. You'd never talk to others the way you talk to yourself.

It didn’t come as a shock. Your grandmother was elderly and had been sick for some time. But the news of her death hit you like a ton of bricks. You’re not sure why it’s affecting you so much. You can’t stop crying, and it’s hard to concentrate. You’re falling behind at work, and you worry that your partner will get sick of your dark mood. You thought you'd done a lot of work on becoming more resilient and learning how to cope, but now it feels like you've lost those gains somehow. Nothing you try makes a difference, and you’re embarrassed to be struggling so much. It feels overwhelming, frustrating, and isolating.

Counseling is a journey and admitting that you need help is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you will do. This is an active journey that we will take together. Often we feel that activity and movement will help us to feel better, but underneath that unrest is a range of psychological processes such as depression, overwhelming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety. Choosing to ignore your issues tends to make life more difficult and places a strain on your relationships. Through our counseling relationship we will create goals, set the pace and find your path of healing.

I work with clients who want to stop feeling controlled by symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and depression. I have worked with survivors of multiple traumas including sexual assault, child abuse, interpersonal violence, war trauma, and torture. I also work with postpartum women who want to feel like themselves again. I help men and women recognize and heal from the effects of limiting cultural ideas about who they should be based on their gender. I help people get rid of chronic pain using cutting edge therapy techniques, and I often incorporate walking sessions into therapy to deepen integration of what is discussed during session.

Looking around at your life wondering how things got so out of alignment? Feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck in old patterns? Or maybe, as one of my clients puts it, you’d really like to “unfuck your life” but aren’t sure if that’s even possible? You aren’t alone, and I’m optimistic about your ability to forge a new path, because the act of seeking help is a sign of your strength, wisdom, and capacity to heal. I’m specialized in helping those whose lives have been touched by substance abuse—either their own or that of a family member—and worked in addiction treatment at every level of care prior to going into private practice.

For years I have worked with clients who are moving through major life transitions and grief, or working with depression, anxiety, or psychological trauma. When we suffer from distress, I believe we are simply "forgetting" our natural wisdom and the fundamental health that lies beneath our outward problems. Underlying my work is a essential belief that our soul is on a journey in this human body, and we are here to learn deep lessons and celebrate the gift of being human - this implies my optimistic view of human psychological distress.

The desire to be connected to others is innate, and yet we sometimes find ourselves alone, hopeless, sad, scared, and angry. I believe that being connected to ourselves and others is part of the human experience, and recovery from symptoms that interrupt our ability to live our lives to the fullest is possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I believe change and insight are possible, and freedom from pain and suffering is attainable.

The path through these difficulties includes facing them with humor, gentleness and

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.
