Hi there, I'm Esther! I am an educator and a licensed therapist with seven years of experience in private practice, where I’ve worked with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I bring a flexible, client-centered approach, drawing from CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Art Therapy depending on each person's unique needs. I see therapy as a collaborative process where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
My ideal clients are individuals and couples who are ready to explore their patterns and work toward meaningful change. Whether they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, they’re willing to show up and engage in the process—even if they’re not sure where to begin.
My communication style is warm, friendly, and authentic. I aim to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a down-to-earth approach to every session, meeting people with respect and care, without pretense or judgment. My goal is to build a real connection and trust, so clients can feel safe.
