Many people look like they have it together on the outside- but inside, they're exhausted. You may be navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in a relationship or career, or overwhelmed by constant overthinking and self-doubt. Anxiety and depression can show up as irritability, burnout, difficulty making decisions, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. I work with adults who are ready to understand what's happening beneath the surface and make meaningful changes.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families heal their lives and relationships. My approach is compassionate, supportive and hopeful. It is my belief that you are not "flawed" or lacking, but rather are constrained by burdens and beliefs that are the result of painful experiences. Together we remove those constraints so that you can experience freedom, wholeness and joy. When working with couples, my goal is to help remove constraints to intimacy and to help you and your partner create a relationship that is honest and fulfilling. Often personal healing must occur in order for this to happen.

Together, we'll work to process past traumas, alleviate anxiety, and build self-esteem, guiding you toward a more empowered and authentic life.
I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps integrate distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and fostering resilience. EMDR can be particularly effective for those who feel "stuck" despite understanding their challenges intellectually.

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.

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.
