You may have spent most of your life adapting to the needs of others until somewhere along the way, you lost connection with yourself. Maybe you're the helper, the peacekeeper, or the one everyone depends on. Or perhaps you've always felt different, overwhelmed by sensory input, emotionally exhausted from masking, or questioning whether you're autistic, have ADHD, or neurodivergent. I have a special passion for supporting Hispanic and Latina women, women of color, neurodivergent individuals, and couples as they reconnect with themselves, navigate cultural and family expectations, and build healthier, authentic relationships.

You notice that your tween or teen seems to be struggling to be their usual confident, bubbly, and carefree self. As a parent, you just want to see that spark in your teen again. They seem nervous, worried, and they overthink things. They are having problems fitting in with friends, and finding the right friend group. You notice them standing on the sidelines instead of getting involved. You even hear them being hard on themselves or see them needing to be perfect. You’re concerned that they will miss out on fun experiences because of their worries and anxiety. They are losing sleep, seem tense, and are even irritable at times.

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.
