As summer begins and school routines change, many children and adolescents experience shifts in structure, social connections, and daily expectations. I enjoy helping children, teens, and families navigate these transitions while building skills to manage emotions, relationships, anxiety, behavior challenges, and life changes. I also work with young adults as they move from college into the adult world, supporting them through career decisions, increased responsibilities, independence, workplace adjustment, stress management, and identity development. Whether facing a seasonal transition, a major life change, or everyday challenges.

Dealing with life events can be stressful for anyone. But there are further difficulties when it comes to neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, and being part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. In this day and age, life can be even more trying as part of a marginalized community. I enjoy helping people work through their life struggles, explore techniques for better executive functioning, and explore ways to manage stressors. While I can work with a wide range of ages, I particularly enjoy helping support children, adolescents, and young adults in their development.

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.
