I’ve come to accept that during our lives, at some point (more accurately-multiple points), things will fall apart. At these crossroads, we have two options: let it sink and stunt us or courageously navigate through the challenging process of healing. I would argue that there is nothing more valuable than doing deep inner work that transforms our life for the better. I am a licensed professional counselor and work with adolescents and adults across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and self-esteem concerns, among many other difficulties.

Seeking therapeutic support is a step toward healing and growth. It shows that you realize you don't have to walk alone and you are ready for change. I want to be that person that walks alongside you on your journey toward balance. We all need someone to talk to that can be a mirror, help us illuminate areas in our lives that may be hidden or unclear, and share skills that we can use to enhance our well-being. I have a heart for those dealing with life transitions, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career issues, grief and the effects of past trauma.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”-Pema Chodran. Everyone is in search of happiness. We all have a desire to be whole, healthy, and thriving. All of us face different challenges in this life, my goal is work collaboratively with you to help you create the life in which you want to live.Real transformation takes place in the pain or suffering and it is in this place that we are motivated to look for answers.

Often, life gets away from us before we realize how quickly things have changed. Life is a process of personal growth and evolution. It is also a process of building and maintaining relationships with people in a world that is constantly in flux. In my Individual Therapy and Family Therapy practice, I focus on partnering with you to explore challenges around interpersonal relationships, behavioral problems, sexual identity and behaviors, self-esteem, core beliefs/values, and many other aspects of life.

Anxiety tends to be exhausting and absolutely takes a toll on your self-esteem and zeal for life. You have hopes of a full life with an even fuller list of goals and anxiety seems to be standing in the way at every turn. You have reached a point where you recognize that you have no more time, energy, and emotional capacity to bear the burden of being anxious, afraid, and negative and now is the time to step up to the challenge of overcoming anxiety. Having worked with people from all over the world I have seen anxiety in its many forms and know first hand that it can be conquered.

My current areas of interest are anger issues, self image and
self esteem
issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and trauma.
If you’ve been hesitant to seek counseling due to not wanting to seem “crazy”, I am here to tell you that everyone can benefit from talking to a licensed mental health professional. You can most definitely pray (if you are a person of faith) and talk to a therapist at the same time! We all have some sort of baggage, but it’s totally up to you how you choose to address it. There’s no shame in seeking help, and it’s my personal mission to destigmatize receiving professional mental health treatment.

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.
