I aim to be a warm, authentic, and comforting presence in your life. As a therapist, I'm asking you to be vulnerable and you deserve a soft place to land that is free from judgment. Therapy is about being curious. Exploring thoughts, feelings, experiences, and how they intersect. From which you may feel a more grounded sense of self. I will sit in those heavy emotions with you without trying to immediately fix, solve, or change you. Just accept and validate and be with you before we do any change talk. My hope is for you to heal your relationship with yourself if you've stopped believing in or liking yourself.

Are you a person of faith who has been experiencing significant difficulties in life? Have you found yourself asking, “If God is all-good and all-powerful, why is there so much evil in the world—and in my own life?” Have your emotions begun to feel overwhelming? When the alarm goes off in the AM, do you feel exhausted at the prospect of dragging yourself through yet another meaningless, unfulfilling day? Perhaps you’ve turned to unhealthy substances/behaviors in an effort to escape or numb the pain? Maybe you feel stuck in the past or burdened by fear and uncertainty about the future? If so, you may be longing for a way forward.

You have desires stirring within you—but fear, self-doubt, or past pain may be keeping you from fully stepping into them. I help clients move through those internal blocks with both practical therapeutic tools and intuitive energy work.

Healing isn’t becoming someone new—it’s expanding into the real you.

I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck find more stability and clarity through therapy, including those navigating trauma, bipolar disorder, or psychosis.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported right from the start. I tailor our work to meet you exactly where you are, using approaches that fit you; not a one-size-fits-all plan. This may include structured, evidence-based methods, creative tools, or a thoughtful blend of both. Together, we’ll build strategies to help you feel more steady and feel like “i got this!”

I work with adults experiencing anxiety-related concerns, including chronic worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, OCD, phobias, trauma responses, stress, and low self-confidence.
I often work with people who feel stuck and overwhelmed. You may find yourself caught in “what if's,” “the shoulds,” or “I can’t” thinking, which makes it difficult to stay in the present moment or feel connected to others. Over time, overthinking often leads to avoidance, frustration, isolation, and shame, as well as showing up in the body. Together, we can work on learning to step back, challenge yourself, and develop new ways of thinking that can lead to more clarity, connection, confidence, and greater control in your life.

If you're stuck in a pattern of behavior or thinking that isn't working for you and you want to feel better, I welcome your call! I use traditional psychotherapy as well as EFT/acupressure and other body-based techniques to help clients improve quickly, because—over the years—my clients have taught me an important lesson:
while some people heal from the head down, others heal from the body up! My ideal client is motivated, willing to do some homework between sessions, and wants more than “rent-a-friend” therapy. If you’re ready to “dig it out” rather than keep “living it out,” I’d love to work with you.

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.
