Congratulations! By searching for a therapist, you're taking a courageous first step toward improving your mental health. Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming but I believe it boils down to two things: finding a therapist with experience in the areas you need, and forging a strong therapeutic relationship with him/her - the single most important variable to success. I have advanced degrees in Education and Mental Health Counseling and had intensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from the renowned Beck Institution for CBT. I'm also a member of the American Counseling Association.

Life can get tough, but you don't have to face it alone! I specialize working with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions (examples: moving, break-ups, transitioning to college, divorce, etc). Counseling provides a safe place to express your fears, hopes, and any emotion between. You can expect sessions with me to include support, helpful challenge, and learning practical tools and skills as needed. I work to create an environment where clients feel comfortable to be themselves while exploring the things that make them feel the most uncomfortable.

Boca Raton, FL 33431
The main reason why I became a therapist and life coach was because as a school teacher I came in contact with a lot of children and adolescents who had issues that weren't being addressed properly. I made a commitment and took it upon myself to help children and teens so that they could become happy, confident, independent, self-sufficient members of society. I will help you and your family members get through uncertain and difficult times successfully by working with your child on developing better coping skills, communication skills, more positive behaviors, enhanced self-esteem and different ways to overcome life's adversities.

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.
