Self Esteem Therapists in Overland Park, KS

I specialize in women's issues! As a woman, demands placed on you by family, friends, colleagues, employers - and yes, by yourself too - can create challenges in your everyday life. Low self-esteem...feeling that you're lost...or that you'll never be good enough...people-pleasing...feelings of rejection or abandonment...all these issues can eat away at your confidence. It can seem impossible to navigate through them especially when you feel you have no support. It doesn't have to be this way. With the loving support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life.

Do you ever feel like you are wearing an emotional mask? After another long day of pretending, you break down, realizing how lonely you are & feel like nobody even cares. You have friends but you feel like you have no one to talk to about what is going on in your head. You feel stuck. You feel isolated. You want to feel safe, seen & heard.

You’ve always felt like you were different. You think about things more deeply than most people, you seem to feel things more deeply too. Often you find yourself appeasing others at your own expense because the idea of confrontation and asserting yourself feels so overwhelming. You hold yourself to really high standards and constantly compare yourself to others. In fact, you’ve gotten so used to being what other people want you to be that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. You’re tired of relying on external validation and tired of struggling so much to speak up for your needs.

I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we are learning, unlearning and possibly relearning the existential areas of: who am I, what do I want, and what are my barriers & blind spots? Some may need support identifying or answering these questions cause they can be overwhelming. We often develop limitations in efforts to cope with grief, stress, control, hurt & relationships. So do you wonder,"What might be getting in my way or holding me back?", or "What I am avoiding?" or "Do I want to be more effective in my relationship?" Therapy can support you when you are answering these incredibly rich questions for yourself.

I am accepting new clients. I have weekday appointments available, with the last appointment beginning at 4:00 pm at this time. I help clients heal their wounds and transform their lives for the better. After 27 years of experience, I can say with great confidence that you are not alone in your challenges, and that you don't have to carry your burden by yourself. With patience and persistence, my clients cultivate greater confidence and self-esteem, richer relationships with their significant others and children, more emotional balance and health. I have a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston.

Are you walking through a season of grief + loss? Are you worried about your biggest fear happening? I know that feeling: depression, anxiety, and excessive worry. Seasons of uncertainty can be terrifying. And, when living through tragedy is your only option, making it to the next day can feel like a marathon. Friend, you don't have to walk this journey alone. My life experience and professional training have equipped me to come alongside others in a season of despair. Together we can cultivate the tools for rediscovering joy, confidence, self-esteem & purpose. Healing is hard work, and you are worthy of feeling free to live fully.

Most of my clients come to me because they’re struggling with their sex life and they’re pretty sure it’s all their fault. They’re not having the kind of sex that they want or sex has just become an enormous problem in their relationship. I often find that at the root of these issues surrounding sexuality is shame. Sometimes that shame is connected to: poor self-esteem or body image, believing you don’t deserve sexual pleasure, a belief that whatever you’re into is just too "weird" and you want to feel “normal” but can’t shake this particular desire, or societal & cultural expectations of gender roles.

Are you struggling with body dysmorphia, negative body image, or a unhealthy relationship with food or exercise? Are you struggling with an eating disorder? I believe recovery is possible and I work alongside my clients to help them heal from their eating disorder. I have 16 years of clinical experience, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I work with all forms of the illness, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore recovery and for you to gain the tools you need to move forward with purpose.

We live in a fast paced world with many pressures and it is often easy to let this stressful world get the best of us. We forget to take care of ourselves, and before we know it we are experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and many other issues. If left untreated these ailments can spiral out of control and leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless and hopeless. If this sounds like you, and you have been experiencing some of these feelings, and you feel life has spun out of control, don't you think it's time to get back to life?
