Are you satisfied with the direction of your life? Are you having the life experiences that you are longing for? If not, you are not alone. Life can be challenging at times. It can steer us away from what we want or need. It can take us down paths that we may not necessarily want to be on. Together, we can deepen the relationship you have with yourself, connect to your innermost needs and desires, explore how you relate to and connect with others, identify patterns in behavior, and work through roadblocks and barriers. My goal is to empower you to lead a life that is meaningful to you.

In life, challenges arise — relationship conflict, life transitions, fertility struggles and complicated pregnancies, postpartum anxiety, depression, anger. What do you do? Even the most supportive and loving relationships face difficulties. Many couples and individuals ignore the issues, assuming “things will work themselves out on their own,” and continue to suffer in silence. But you deserve to feel heard and understood. The ability to turn adversity into strength is an empowering skill available to everyone, with the right tools. I offer teletherapy as well as in-person therapy, for your convenience.

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.
