You might be at a point where you’ve always suspected ADHD plays a role in your life, but you’ve never had the space to explore it fully. Maybe you’ve faced dismissal from family, friends, or even doctors and other therapists who didn’t understand your struggles and tried to downplay them. Or perhaps you’ve been able to “hold it together” on the outside while wondering why things feel harder for you than they seem for everyone else. You might be beginning to consider receiving a professional diagnosis and want guidance on working with a psychiatrist, or you’re overwhelmed by executive functioning challenges that make life harder.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, meaning I help you explore the “why” behind your feelings and behaviors. We explore how past experiences, especially early relationships, can shape the way you feel, cope, and relate to others today, often without you realizing it.

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.
