Welcome to the change you have been looking for! The focus of my practice is to help you become the change you want. "My kids don't listen" "I'm depressed", "this is not where I suppose to be in my life", "I'm hurting", confused and I don't know what to do". These are the thoughts, feelings and emotions that run through our heads every day. When things go wrong we look for something or someone to change...we look at the people around us to change, but they don't! The change comes from you!

Many parents and caregivers don’t like to say this out loud, but some of the ongoing behavioral issues you face with your child make it hard to like them. You love them dearly, but when your child repeatedly has tantrums, trouble listening, or following directions, it’s difficult to maintain a strong connection with them. You need a judgment-free zone where you can learn effective techniques for managing your child’s behavior and strengthening your relationship with them. Parent-Child Interactive Training may be perfect for you. With nearly 20 years of clinical experience working with youth, I'd love to help you turn things around.

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.
