Self Esteem Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
I hope to collaboratively explore the layers of your inner world by building a safe-enough space through our relationship. Therapy can be (and is almost always) a painful and vulnerable experience, yet also immensely rewarding. My therapy process seeks to identify how all internal and external forces throughout our life shape who we are and how we navigate the world today, to enact change. Non-judgmental curiosity, humility, and compassion are essential. I primarily practice from a trauma-informed, relational/attachment psychodynamic lens, but often integrate components of CBT, somatic awareness, and family systems theory.

I work with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and traumatic experiences.
Have you been depressed, anxious, or feeling bad about yourself? Maybe you’re tired of this, and want to get to the roots of these feelings, so you can heal. Present symptoms are often built on traumatic past experiences, the feelings associated, and the narratives and strategies that you created to make sense of it all. I believe healing begins when you examine these experiences, process the feelings in a safe, caring environment, and view these experiences in a fresh, more accurate, more compassionate light. You can then rewrite the narratives that have held you back, and start to try out all sorts of new things in your life.

I offer holistic therapy to help women escape the veil of anxiety and live authentically. Clients I work with struggle with complex emotions. Despite being intelligent, hard-working, and having a witty sense of humor, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. When they first come to see me, they are exhausted by the never ending loop of “what if” scenarios and often find themselves trying to be perfect or pretend that they have it all together. If you’re ready to drop anxiety and find self-compassion, I'm your gal! We will work together to reclaim your inner knowing, find your voice, and live your most authentic life.

I believe that people have a deep need to feel seen and understood. Without that, life and relationships can become isolating. During our most difficult moments, the way we see ourselves can feel overwhelming and impossibly stuck. But meaningful change becomes possible within a supportive therapeutic relationship—one built on attentive listening, trust, curiosity, honesty, and the courage to take thoughtful risks together.

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.
