The first time I saw this quote, "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass but learning to dance in the rain." (Vivian Greene). I gave it an enthusiastic head nod and a church-worthy Amen! My professional career has been helping people navigate during those storms through loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, trauma, work, health, aging.

YOU can call me Cathy. I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). In many ways, there is still a stigma around receiving mental health services. For some, their previous experiences (or experiences of those close to them) have made it difficult to reach out for help. I’m here to tell you the field of mental health has evolved, much like I have as a psychotherapist throughout my career. During my studies at Monmouth University, I learned to pride myself on being authentic with clients, in and out of session.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Many are navigating the effects of trauma, chronic stress, or chronic pain and want to better understand themselves rather than just manage symptoms. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and nervous system-informed approach, I help clients regulate their emotions, reconnect with themselves, and build lasting tools to feel calmer, more confident, and more present in their daily lives.

I'm a fierce supporter of anxious, exhausted helpers who hold space for others professionally or personally. Maybe you hustle in non-profit, the medical field, education, social services, or creative spaces. Or, you're the emotional shock-absorber in your family or friend group. If you're the "strong one" everyone leans on ... drowning in the loneliness of self-help ... in a chokehold of self-sacrifice while your peace shrinks by the day ... wanna flip a table when you hear “set boundaries" or “just say no” ... Then yeah. We should talk. Because — you're my people.

Do you feel more irritated and short fused than you want to be as a mom? Maybe you’re overwhelmed from being the default parent and never being able to shut off your thoughts and get a real break? Does the people pleaser in you struggle to communicate your feelings and needs without worrying you're "nagging?" You may love being a mom, yet still feel all over the place, out of control, or exhausted by everything you’re carrying. Many moms reach out when anxiety feels constant and they want support before burnout, resentment, or disconnection builds up even more.

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.
