I provide care in person near downtown Detroit, as well as online. My patients often struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." You probably already have some ideas about how your childhood, identities, and social structures impact your mental health, but are still suffering. I can help you understand underlying patterns that are not initially in your awareness.

You're the one others rely on. Driven. Capable. Always pushing for more. On paper, your life may look impressive—but internally, you're overwhelmed, anxious, and constantly battling the voice that says “not enough.” Perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing—it’s exhausting. You might feel disconnected from yourself, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, and unsure how to slow down without falling apart. Maybe you've tried therapy before—maybe it helped, but didn't quite get to the root of it. That’s where I come in.

I specialize in attachment trauma, self-esteem, and relational trauma, with a focus on helping individuals build a more secure and compassionate relationship with themselves.
Throughout my work as a therapist, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, depression, and the deeper patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling disconnected from their needs, desires, voice, or sense of self; and are ready to explore what it means to come back home to themselves.

Feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or emotionally drained can make even simple days feel exhausting. You might be managing anxiety, past experiences that still linger, or emotions that seem hard to control—and doing it all while trying to keep life moving forward. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or carry it all by yourself. It’s a space to pause, reset, and begin creating change that actually feels doable.

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.
