Your childhood wasn’t exactly idyllic. What should have been a safe, stable, and joyful time was instead dangerous, unpredictable, and terrifying. You learned to stay quiet, not take up space, and be the “good kid,” often compensating for your parents’ deficiencies. You learned to rely solely on yourself – after all, you didn’t have other options. Now, as an adult, your mind and body still react as if danger is everywhere. You’re either hypervigilant (worried all the time) or completely dissociated (checked out). The trauma that took place 10, 20, or even 30 years ago still torments you. You’re ready to move on and be free.

Maybe you're tired of being on the anxiety roller coaster.
Or you've been dropped smack dab into the land of grief and you feel lost. You may be grieving a death or some other kind of loss: a marriage, a friendship, your health...
Or maybe what you've lost is you. You don't know how you got so far away from who you are and the life you wanted.
Or maybe you don't know what's going on with you or what you need, you just know you need something other than this, something better than this.
For over twenty years I've helped people find that something better.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem.
You might look like you have it all together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly in your own head. Maybe you overthink everything or second guess yourself more than you'd like to admit. Does that sound familiar?
Therapy with me is a place to be real, sort through what's going on, and start making meaningful changes (at a pace that actually feels manageable). We'll work towards a clearer understanding of yourself, more confidence in your decisions, and a greater sense of balance moving forward. It doesn't have to feel heavy all the time - we can keep this work honest, intentional, and grounded.

You've been doing the work. You're self-aware, you feel things deeply, and you're trying your best- but you still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're missing something. Maybe you live with anxiety or ADHD, or feel like you're always the one holding everything together. You might be the responsible, capable one that others often rely on. On the inside, you're second-guessing yourself and carrying more than most people realize. I work with adults who are sensitive, intuitive, and thoughtful, but feel misunderstood or disconnected from themselves. We work together to slow things down and make sense of what's beneath the surface.

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.
