Have you started to feel stressed, tired, bored, and unloved? Are you struggling to feel “good enough” to just go to work, being in a relationship, or having fun seems IMPOSSIBLE? Life must feel hectic and overwhelming! Slowing down to find balance is not working. Carrying on with the pain, hurt, and disappointment became “too much”. You are getting into arguments and fights with family and friends. You take it to work and are no longer being productive. You decide that this version of you is not working out anymore. You want to feel happy, calm, in control. You want to feel loved and excitement.

As your therapist, my number one goal would be for you to feel safe and respected. My ideal client would be someone willing to openly and honestly acknowledge their struggles. Their issues would include difficulty adjusting, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, and low
self esteem
. Their needs would be to feel heard, seen, and to feel like they're important and they matter in the world. Their goals would include a plan that allows them to account for any inconsistency and mistakes as life is not easy and sometimes we fall short. They want to figure out their life focus and what's important to them.

Life can be hectic at times, and will lead us to prioritize anything and everything else before ourselves. There may be times where we feel lost and unsure of what to do. This can be an overwhelming feeling and may lead us to question who we are and what makes up our identity. By entering the journey that is therapy, you will be able to finally prioritize getting to know yourself; your likes and dislikes, triggers and strengths, as well as developing the wisdom to become A Better You.

If you find yourself looking for a therapist, you have already taken a step in the direction towards positive change. Trust your instincts – you have come here for a reason. Whether you are aware of what that reason is or not, we can work together in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment aimed towards healing, growth, self-acceptance, self-love and self-esteem. I will help you learn and better understand how your mind works, how you relate to your own emotions, and how learned behaviors and patterns in your life obstruct your ability to work, love, and create.

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.
