Autistic? Hard on yourself? I've got you! I hear it all the time: “I screwed up! I never get it right! I hate myself! I hate my life!” And why wouldn’t you? That running litany of hate in your mind is the voice of your inner critic... a kind of mental bully that beats you relentlessly, supposedly in an effort to make you improve. Sadly, it also destroys your self-esteem so completely, that it's a guaranteed formula for failure. You know there is a better way! I am an Autism Affirming therapist empowering adults to live their best lives every day. Whether you are Autistic or not, I'll show you a REAL formula that works.

My focus is helping people transform long-standing roots of emotional distress, especially those resulting from difficult or traumatizing backgrounds, including diffuse and difficult to name traumas such as enmeshment and emotional neglect. I work together with clients to pinpoint the inner and outer sources of distress in their lives, develop a plan to transform this distress, and provide the tools of inner transformation, enabling them to relate to their lives with greater peace, clarity, stability and agency – aiming always for an open authenticity that is fully alive and empowered.

May 2024: I am currently accepting new clients! We all need connection. But sometimes making and maintaining connections is hard. When we’re dealing with difficult situations or trying to protect ourselves from pain, we can get distracted, distant, or shut down; in other words, disconnected. Whatever brought you here today, I invite you to consider whether feeling more connected - with your inner experiences, the important people in your life, or the activities you’re engaged in - could help.

As problems develop in our lives it can be difficult to see the whole picture. As a result, the problems we face often leave us confused, unsure of ourselves, and feeling lost or helpless. In my work as a counselor I take a practical approach in helping people gain a deeper understanding of their lives, relationships, and sense of self. You can expect me to be an understanding and compassionate collaborator while also gently challenging you to consider new perspectives and solutions.

Have you ever struggled to find the words to describe how you are feeling? Or, wished to express yourself beyond just talking in therapy? When words can't express it, art can! Whether you consider yourself an artist or not (and you don't have to be one to do art therapy), visual expression and the creative process can help. Jung said, "often the hands will solve a mystery the intellect has struggled with in vain." Art therapy offers you the opportunity to explore and work through what is challenging you a little differently than solely talking about it.

All of us face experiences in our lives where we can benefit from the support and connection that therapy provides. Scientific evidence demonstrates that a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship is restorative, healing and emotionally regulating. As a therapist, I believe in connecting with clients, human-to-human, and I regularly feel a deep sense of understanding for those with whom I work. There is so much noise around us that it is often difficult for us to hear our own truth. I offer a compassionate, heart-centered space to help you to deeply trust your own inner strength and core values.

"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

"During difficult times I teach people how to better manage their lives and how to avoid feeling victimized by outside circumstances. I establish rapport easily with people and accept people exactly where they are. I create a safe, trusting environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills which may include: improving self-esteem, setting boundaries, making healthy decisions, managing stress and anxiety. As a person begins to have a healthier relationship with themselves, it allows them to take ownership of their life and manage it more productively. "

Hi there! I know that finding the right therapist can be challenging, especially when things may already feel overwhelming and you're doing your best to keep your head above water. Life gets busy, relationships get strained, and it can be tough to juggle all of the different hats you wear. I believe that everyone has strengths and my goal is to empower clients to work through barriers that may lead them to be feeling stuck. I take a holistic, client-centered, directive approach with individuals and couples. I show up in sessions as my genuine self and hope to create an environment where my clients feel safe to do the same.

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.
