Life can be very unpredictable and seem unfair at times. “Fall down seven times, get up eight,” but what if it all becomes too much? Dealing with unhappiness, adjusting to change, coping with loss, managing work/school stress, and navigating relationships can take a toll on a person. Feelings of depression, anxiety/panic, low self-esteem, and sleep difficulties only make things more difficult. Some think they must put on a brave face and go through things alone. Well, I’m here to let you know it’s okay to not be okay AND that you don’t have to face life alone.

Sometimes we simply need help navigating the inevitable difficulties and challenges we might face. My role is to empower you on your journey, to challenge your lens, and to raise your consciousness as you start to connect the dots.

When's the last time you really felt heard? That someone was truly listening to you & what you had to say, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak? In these times when social media seemingly offers instant connections to anyone, yet can still leave you feeling unheard, unseen and disconnected from everyone, having someone give you their undivided attention and consideration can be a rare find. I am that rare find.

I am a counselor/coach who has long been committed to the health and success of women as they manage different transitions in life, such as transitioning from career professional to working mom, from working outside to staying at home, getting divorced, becoming an empty nester, transitioning back into the workforce after raising your kids, being the primary eldercare giver and adjusting to retirement. These unsettling periods often lead to fear and loss of confidence but they needn't be. We work on practical steps to manage through the transition to get you to where you want to be comfortably.

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.
