I work with adults and couples experiencing marital issues, anxiety, work burnout, grief, self esteem, peer relationships and women's issues.
You feel trapped in thinking again and again about the same issue? You feel as you can’t take a breath, lost your sleep and criticize everything you do? Does this all make you feel as you are not good enough; you should please others to be liked; you are failing as a partner, parent or a friend? Would you like to create space for yourself where you can discover your unique life journey? Collaboratively, we can create a safe space to help you feel your feelings; build awareness; understand relationship patterns; and develop strategies to cope at home, work and in society.

I specialize in treating adults (including college students) and adolescents dealing with relationship and self esteem issues, performance enhancement (academic, work and sports), parenting issues, childhood trauma, depression, addiction and anxiety.
The connection with your therapist is one of the most important predictors of whether or not therapy will be successful. I meet my clients with respect, compassion and great care. I am grateful that you are considering me as someone who can help. Many of the clients who have found me were dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, childhood traumatic experiences, self-doubt and others. They come to heal parts of themselves interfering with life goals and relationships. No matter the past experiences, we are able to change, grow and heal.

My clients are often looking to gain clarity; actualizing their identity beyond who they’ve historically been. Some may be exploring significant parts of who they are (i.e. relationships, sexuality, gender, career, passions/interests.) Others have experienced a shift, such as a life-cycle event, new school or employment, and are looking to live more authentically and reclaim their lives with purpose. They may feel disconnected or lonely, frustrated or stuck, insufficient or “not enough," thinking life has not turned out as planned. I also enjoy providing therapy to other mental health clinicians and students!

As a service provider for over 20 years, while having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons are learned. As a service provider, more than the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served may be needed. As a QTBIPOC service recipient and clinician, I understand the importance of having access to safe and affirming service spaces. Services that actively understand the power behind intersectionality. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together we are strong.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive space where your child can express themselves freely? As a child-centered play therapist, I believe that children have an innate ability to heal when given the opportunity to play, create, and explore in a nurturing environment. By encouraging children to express themselves through play, I help them uncover and process their emotions in a way that is natural and developmentally appropriate.

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.
