Maybe you're rebuilding after infidelity, stuck in the same relationship patterns, or struggling with self-esteem.
You’ve been trying to hold it together, but lately everything feels heavier than it should. Maybe you’re snapping at people you care about, crying out of nowhere, or shutting down because you don’t know what else to do. Maybe your brain never stops... running through every worst-case scenario, every mistake, every “what if I’m the problem?” thought at 2 a.m. You keep telling yourself to get it together… yet nothing feels together. In therapy, we slow everything down so you can actually hear yourself think (without spiraling). We make sense of the emotions you’ve been avoiding because they feel “too big,” “too messy,” or “too much.”

My background in Community Mental Health has given me experience with Mood Disorders, depression, social skills, maladaptive behavior, and self-esteem.
I believe instilling hope should be one of the top focuses of therapy. As long as you have hope, together we can focus on your strengths to achieve your goals. We are all human and experience different emotional changes throughout our lifetimes. Sometimes it is difficult to address these issues with family or friends; it may be easier to have an impartial, unbiased person with whom to talk through these issues. Together we can develop goals and tackle them one by one, at a pace that is comfortable and appropriate.

I offer a supportive space where individuals, teens, families and couples can show up without judgment or the pressure to be perfect. I work with clients who are insightful and capable, yet still find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, or repeating patterns that don’t feel healthy. Many have done therapy before, but something still isn’t fully shifting. I help clients connect the dots between past experiences and present triggers, and then actively help them build the skills needed to break old cycles.

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.
