You're up at night replaying everything you "should" have done. Your downtime is never really downtime because your mind is racing through a mile-long to-do list. Maybe you've noticed you're more irritable lately, snapping at the little things. Through the busyness of everyday life, you might find yourself thinking, "I'm fine" or "It's not that bad," just to keep pushing through. If you grew up in a family where emotions were brushed under the rug, those "I’m fines" might even feel believable—but they’re often a sign of deep exhaustion. The good news? You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

We all move through life with unique strengths and stories. Sometimes, we feel stuck—overwhelmed, unhappy, or caught in unexpected change. Our minds are powerful, yet they can tell us stories that aren’t always true. In those moments, it’s important to pause, sort through the noise, and focus on what truly matters.
Most people don’t need to be “fixed”-they need to be understood. They need someone who listens without judgment, sees their pain, and reminds them they’re not alone. That’s the heart of my work. I’m honored to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges.

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.
