If you struggle with anxiety, depression, self esteem, stressful life events/relationships, email me.
Accepting new clients in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine! You deserve to not be "white knuckling it" through life. And it’s okay (wonderful, even!) to ask for help. As a people pleaser, myself, I understand how incredibly difficult it can be to prioritize what you want and need out of life. I work with women of all ages on several different topics. Clients who struggle with low self esteem and self worth, anxiety, depression and trauma: I am here for you. We will work on identifying your needs, setting boundaries, developing a more assertive (not aggressive, nor passive) voice and much more, depending on what will be helpful.

Hi! I am so glad you’ve decided to put yourself and your needs first. Finding a therapist is not always easy, however, it is so important to have a safe space to heal. Moving through life carrying around unresolved feelings can weigh us down. Life can often have unexpected moments, thrusting you into a situation you may have never encountered and leaving you unsure of how to manage. While I don’t have all of the answers, I specialize in providing guidance to those who have faced profound life struggles and might be grappling with a sense of hopelessness or just feeling stuck.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you can't quite find your place in the world? You may feel a constant sense of being misunderstood or disconnected, even when you're doing everything you think you should. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, confusion, or a sense that something is missing. Many of us have adapted over time, building walls or behaviors that used to keep us safe but now seem to hold us back. If you’re searching for clarity, connection, and a deeper understanding of yourself, you're not alone.

Twenty-five years into it, I still love being a counselor and psychotherapist. It is an honor and a privilege to be involved in the personal struggle and transformation of each client, couple, and family I see. I regard therapy more as an art than a science, though I certainly utilize current research in my practice. Most often my clients present problems in living rather than "mental illness" per se and they appreciate my attention to their strengths, resources, and spiritual concerns.

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.
