I work with individuals and couples on myriad issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and relationship difficulties, to working toward personal growth, self-exploration, and healthy relationship development.
My approach is eclectic, founded in a systemic philosophy. It is through social systems that our growth and development occurs, and in which we live and operate. It is through a systemic perspective, therefore, that I will offer you feedback, reflections, and insights.

Welcome. Often where we grow the most and feel most authentic to who we are is when we push ourselves out of our comfort zone. This may include starting therapy, speaking up for ourselves, or finally listening to what our body and mind are saying. This can be hard even when it means letting ourselves rest when our mind says to go. Society has a lot of expectations that mislead us from being who we are or listening to our own needs. The beauty of therapy is that you can listen to your voice, your heart, and what you want. Together, you can discover and create space to hear your truth.

I’m the right fit for you if you are looking for someone to be authentic and honest with you. Life has a way of giving us more than we feel we can handle sometimes, individually, in our relationships or as a family. It takes bravery to step outside of the patterns that we are stuck in and do something different. Experiences, trauma, anxiety, depression, you name it, can throw barriers our way to feel like it's impossible to thrive. It IS possible to live a secure, confident and productive life, even if you do not feel that way right now.

A mental health diagnosis does not define who you are or have the final say in the quality of your life. I believe that education is power and the more a person understands their condition the better they can manage life and relationships. I also believe that being allowed to share your journey is an honor. Therapy can be freeing as it inspires personal growth and hopeful outcomes.

Currently accepting new clients! I’m not your typical talk-therapist. I am dynamic in the sense that I’ve been trained in many different evidenced-based models, theories, and techniques, but the therapy that I provide derives from what is needed most by the client sitting in front of me. I’m fun, energetic and real. I don’t mind being direct when necessary, and I think it’s okay to sometimes disclose information about myself;after all, the passion and interest that I have for helping others is directly related to my lived experience of trying to ground myself in an unsettled world.

Maybe you’ve spent years trying to meet everyone else’s expectations—masking, overworking, or numbing your emotions—only to feel exhausted, burned out, or lost. Whether you're exploring your identity as a neurodivergent person or you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or borderline personality disorder (BPD), you deserve therapy that honors your unique brain and life experiences.

I offer sessions focused on building self-esteem, managing anxiety, and addressing trauma with tailored strategies.
Dealing with anxiety, addiction, and other mental health concerns can be incredibly draining and overwhelming. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of negative thoughts and emotions that just won't let you break free. It's okay —it’s a sign of strength— to ask for help and seek support from others who understand what you're going through. You don't have to face these challenges alone.

Therapy can be a powerful way to make changes in your life. Having a therapist that you can rely on, should offer consistent support for those changes. My approach is compassionate and motivational to help you identify ways to positively meet your needs by processing emotional wounds, shifting your thoughts and behaviors, and unblocking your own answers to your growth. I often include a somatic approach to connect sensations in the body to the mind for healing. I see myself as a guide to support your readiness to explore areas of resiliency.

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.
