I know that the process of beginning therapy can be overwhelming because I’ve been there. It takes vulnerability and courage to ask for help. I also know that therapy works because I’ve seen it--in my own life and in the lives of my clients. I congratulate you on taking this significant step toward finding relief and reconnecting with your most authentic self. I’m so glad you’re here. My practice is grounded in my belief that the therapeutic relationship provides a unique opportunity to explore experiences and parts of ourselves that are hard to look at alone. We are all capable of healing, growth and transformation at any point.

I assist people to recover from traumatic types of experiences, greatly improve their self-esteem and sense of what's possible, and let go of bad habits and limiting beliefs. I also assist people in letting go of past relationships so they can move on with their lives. And I assist people in becoming motivated to do important projects or necessary tasks.

Life can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to find balance maintaining our emotional well-being. The journey of healing is a collaborative process where you supported to safely explore life’s challenges in a nonjudgmental environment. Through the therapeutic relationship the healing process begins and enables you to access your inner strengths. Gaining insight into yourself with a trusting therapist is truly transformative. Through therapy we not only gain a deeper understanding of ourselves but also to the people in our lives and the world around us.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is permission to write your own story. As an individual dealing with the long-lasting effects of trauma, you often wonder if things will get better, easier, or more manageable with time. You may not know it, but even by simply asking yourself these questions, you are beginning to acknowledge your worth, explore your potential, and place yourself in the mindset needed to begin your journey of reclamation. Since you are now ready to sit down with me, I can confidently say that I am likewise ready to help you to feel understood, seen, and secure.

I value working with teens and adults in a supportive non-judgmental way. I assist people who may be challenged with shame, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, substance use issues/recovery, communication issues, parent/child relationship difficulties, trauma, lack of self-care, and low self-esteem. Often people are struggling with something in their lives that is out of balance or going through a transition and reinventing themselves. Basically, I help people find their way again. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming, and gender-affirming therapist. I am also a culturally responsive and social justice-oriented therapist.

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.
