Accepting NEW clients. I believe that we all encounter obstacles in our lives in which we need additional guidance. Sometimes support may be short-term, working through a life change; sometimes longer in duration in order to explore patterns of behavior. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where together we can focus on ways to improve coping skills, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Is it true that one can take steps to become healthier, happier and more productive in their lives? We often find that we get easily wrapped up in the hustle bustle of daily living, and we can tend to forget about ourselves while taking care of those around us. Perhaps, you have found that coping skills that were effective in the past, are no longer working, and have become problematic. Has addiction impacted your life in a profoundly negative way, or is sustaining long term sobriety difficult? We can begin a journey to more positive perspectives.

This happens because to achieve significant and lasting changes one must access the self-esteem that resides unconsciously within us.
I've been practicing EMDR for the past 32 years and have found it to be a highly effective change process. EMDR allows me to help you to access and resolve unconscious dysfunctional beliefs that have interfered in your life from your past. I have found it to be a relatively rapid change process.

After almost 30 years in mental health, I'm still passionate about the work I do. With that said, I'm here to help with the problems that have brought you to therapy. Gathering information and developing our relationship, along with trust and creating a safe space to share are my strengths in helping others. I use various approaches to assist clients.

This can inform and empower growth and change.

I see a wide range of clients who face a variety of challenges: trauma, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, stress management, family conflict, and relationship challenges.
Acceptance, I think this is something that we strive for the most in life and it is also one of the hardest things we struggle with. It is hard for us to find ways to be true to ourselves and also feel like we are meeting the needs and demands of the world around us. I would very much like to help you find that balance. It is my goal to offer a place for you to examine yourself and what makes you, you and figure out the most helpful ways of expressing that person to the world around you. I believe a sense of humor is important and learning to laugh at things can be healing.

Clients often walk away with greater clarity, emotional relief, and a renewed sense of confidence and calm and can travel from any state to CT for this work together.

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.
