I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, traumatic experiences, and self esteem struggles.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or weighed down? Struggling with worry, self doubt or insecurity? Do you put yourself on the back burner, seek to please others and prioritize others' needs before your own? At times painful memories from the past flood your mind and you feel like those traumatic events are happening again. The past is affecting your present more than you'd like and you want to be able to move forward in your life. You find yourself feeling stuck and disappointed. There is hope. Things can get better. The rest of your story is still unwritten.

You’re driven and capable. You perform at work, lead at home, and push yourself physically—but privately, a behavior is undermining your confidence. Alcohol, substance use, or stress-driven escape may be costing you focus and integrity. You’re not looking for labels or endless talk. You want clarity, control, and a disciplined plan that strengthens your mind and body so your private life matches your public standards.

My ideal clients are people who feel stuck under the weight of stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma—whether the pain is recent or something they’ve carried for years. Many are high-functioning on the outside but internally feel depleted, on edge, or emotionally disconnected. They’re ready for practical, evidence-informed tools to calm the nervous system, make sense of what happened, and shift patterns that keep showing up in relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we work toward lasting change: greater clarity, steadier confidence, and a more grounded, integrated way of living.

Are you currently finding it difficult exploring your emotions? Anger? Fear? Shame? Sadness? Sometimes, does it seem that wondering about these emotions causes some anxiety and stress? Do you feel family, friends, and others don't understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely can benefit from addressing those thoughts through therapy where there is Confidentiality, Support, and No Judgement.

My favorite quote is from The Little Prince, "the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart." Often in the midst of our pain and struggle we react to circumstances with little or no thought. We allow ourselves to be directed by the world instead of identifying what we need and know in our heart. To identify what we need, know what our heart wants, and have a plan to follow is what therapy is all about. We must work through the pain to identify these things; accept that we deserve them, and develop a plan to achieve them.

After years of providing a broad range of services in the context of a traditional private practice office, which I closed at the end of 2017, I began doing therapy online. I decided to offer online services to maintain a limited professional practice, available to select clients for whom such a service delivery platform would be appropriate. Services are available to children, youth, adults, and families at the rate of $75 per 45-minute session and are payable via PayPal. I accept NO insurance, only self-pay clients.

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.
