Self Esteem Therapists in Windham, CT
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.

If you are reading this, you might have challenges/problems that you want to change/work with. In my experience as a therapist (and as a human being) I now see that relaxation is a prerequisite for change. Relaxation practices that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system create the optimal internal environment (calm, regulated, and receptive) for the insight and changes from psychotherapy to take root and last.
By learning and regularly utilizing restorative practices like non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) in session and at home, you can build an internal "well of calm," significantly improving your ability to manage your predicament

Sometimes life is just too hard or stressful to manage by yourself.

Of course, sometimes life can be difficult. And for some of us, life has been difficult all along.

I am happy to work with individuals, families and couples who are interested in exploring and understanding how they may be able to heal wounds, create stability and forge new and meaningful paths and/or relationships in their lives.

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

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.

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.
