“What is WRONG with me?” That’s probably something you say to yourself often. Or a version of that story. It hurts. You’re tired of feeling so “stuck” in a negative, self-defeating cycle of sabotage, self-doubt, and low self-esteem, overcompensating with perfectionism, people pleasing, and the pervasive anxiety that comes with trying so hard to be enough. And you probably look like you’re put together, maybe even high achieving. But, on the inside, the fears, worries, and emptiness feel crippling. And relationships? So hard! That seems to make the wounded four-year-old inside of you come out and hijack your life. You want peace.

Coping with life's stressors and uncertainties can be a strong undertaking. Even stronger are people who trust the therapeutic process to help guide them through their struggles. No matter what obstacles you are facing, know that you have the ability to rise above them. You should also know that you do not have to face your circumstances alone and that you deserve to live a fulfilling and rewarding life.

I believe we all deserve healthy sexual relationships whatever that may look like! Couples have an exciting opportunity to create their own sexual and intimacy connection. Healthy sexuality comprises 20% of our relationship, but becomes an unhealthy 90% when it is filled with disappointments. I frequently hear "we are roommates." Our sexuality is interwoven with our
self esteem
. My therapy approach improves
self esteem
and the ability to connect. Sexual concerns surrounding desire, arousal, orgasms, erections and pain are treated in my practice. I see individuals as frequently as couples. Change begins with the individual.

I have a passion for working with individuals that are struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and dependency traits. I believe we are all born knowing who we are and somewhere along the way, parenting, society, trauma, and other factors, slowly stifle our true inner selves. Together we will transform the limiting beliefs that are holding you back, find your inner voice, learn to set healthy boundaries, and move towards the life you’ve always dreamed of.

I believe the therapy process is a marathon, not a sprint. Pacing and patience are key to the type of collaborative therapy I offer. In this “marathon”, I am open to discussing what tactics you want to use to create the change you want to see. As a counselor, I use myself as a vehicle for change in the therapeutic process. I bring a warm, personable, and laid-back nature to each session because I believe everyone needs a comfortable space to share their story. I push my clients in the direction of their goals, but I respect the importance of pacing and patience during the therapy “marathon”.

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.
