Hi there! Raise your hand if you describe yourself as an over-thinker.

Maybe you’ve had difficulty managing stress in your daily life without fixating on every possible outcome that could go wrong. Perhaps you've had difficulty managing your racing thoughts. Maybe you have a hard time seeing the value you bring to your work and relationships. Your anxiety might feel like a weight around your leg that you drag with you into every social situation and you don't know how to keep it from pulling you down.

Although my specializations include working with clients with anxiety and self-esteem, I have many years working with children and families suffering with depression and PTSD.
Learning to balance the stresses of everyday life can prove to be challenging. Eventually it can take a toll on your mental health and self-care no longer becomes a priority. My mission is to work collaboratively with you to set realistic goals, empower you to put yourself first, cultivate self-awareness and reduce self-doubt. Through therapy, I aim to uncover the value systems which play a role in the barriers to your growth. This is accomplished by utilizing integrated therapeutic approaches which will include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI) and others.

Maybe you are changing careers or jobs, you’re recently divorced, your home is now an empty nest, or you are retiring. These are only a few of life’s transitions that can bring on depression and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the therapy I use most often, states that A (Antecedent action or event) + B (our belief about that antecedent action or event) Consequences, (depression or happiness).

I meet with folks for a viarety of different reasons, including depression, anxiety, stress, or wanting support during life transitions. For others it may be exploring self identity, personal satisfaction, or how to safely navigate the world around them. Whatever your reason for wanting support, we all share a common need to feel better, safe, seen and heard. Those I work with have a willingness to show up and do the work, to have sometimes hard conversations and explore change.

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.
