My ideal clients are high-functioning adults and couples who carry a lot quietly. They are responsible, capable, and often the ones others depend on, yet internally they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted. They want healthier relationships, better communication, and a stronger connection to themselves. Their goal is to feel more grounded, understood, and secure as they learn to honor their needs without abandoning themselves.

This can look different in each individual, but often includes difficulty with setting boundaries, putting others’ needs before your own, feelings of low self-esteem, & feelings of intense shame & guilt.
I also believe in authenticity & the power of humor, which is something my clients truly appreciate! The client feedback I take the most pride in has been that I am easy to talk to, that I am unlike other therapists they have worked with previously, & that I just “get them.”

Press pause on everyday demands and focus fully on yourself with an EMDR intensive. Intensive EMDR allows you to work at depth and address the root causes of stress, trauma, anxiety, or overwhelm—often in far fewer sessions than standard weekly therapy. I offer half-day formats (2–6 sessions) as well as 3–5 day “life review and reset” experiences designed to create meaningful change in a short period of time. 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.

Art Therapy offers a powerful and non-threatening alternative to traditional talk therapy. When words feel overwhelming, confusing, or simply out of reach, the creative process can gently open a different doorway. Art speaks in symbols, images, and felt experience bringing the unconscious to a conscious light. This process often allows trauma and difficult experiences to be processed safely, at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story. When we slow down reactive cycles, improve communication, and reconnect in meaningful, emotionally attuned ways we establish a more authentic self.

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.

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.
