Anxiety, depression, low- self esteem, and life stress can definitely leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, but you don’t have to go through it alone!
In session, I use various art mediums such as drawing, painting, clay, sculpture, collage, and mixed media to help clients process difficult emotions. Art Therapy also helps people to express themselves, explore their identity, and regulate uncomfortable feelings.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I specialize in supporting young adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of who they’re “supposed” to be in a world full of expectations. If you're struggling with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or just trying to figure things out, you don’t have to do it alone. I became a therapist because I know firsthand how often we’re taught to bottle things up—to be strong, quiet, and push through. But the truth is, holding it all in can weigh us down. I believe that talking about it—really talking—is powerful. It’s not a sign of weakness but a step toward clarity, healing, and empowerment.

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.
