My goal as a therapist is to help you to be your best possible self and to encourage you through therapy. I will use CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness and self love techniques. I will push you and encourage you to achieve your goals.

For high achievers more broadly, it means examining the self-esteem structures that made burnout feel unavoidable and building healthy ones.
From the outside, you look like you're handling it. You show up, perform, meet expectations, maybe even exceed them. But underneath, something feels empty or deflated, like you're running on exhaustion that rest doesn't touch, chasing a bar that keeps moving, wondering why success doesn't feel like enough. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not broken. You're likely carrying high-functioning burnout, and it often hides in plain sight precisely because you're so good at carrying it.

Maybe you’re a teen or adult who feels everything deeply: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or emotions that sometimes feel too big to manage.
I work with teens and adults who want therapy to feel useful, not like an awkward hour of being analyzed. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and often includes humor. I use approaches like CBT and DBT to help clients understand what’s driving their emotions and behaviors while building practical skills they can actually use outside of therapy.

Together, we work toward healthier communication, stronger boundaries, greater self-confidence, and more balanced ways of coping with life’s challenges.
Many of the adults I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or exhausted from anxiety, relationship stress, grief, people-pleasing, or painful past experiences. Some struggle with self-criticism, boundaries, or feeling responsible for everyone else while neglecting themselves. I work with clients seeking healthier relationships, improved communication, greater confidence, and a stronger sense of peace and connection within themselves. For clients who desire it, I’m also comfortable incorporating a biblical or faith-based perspective into the counseling process.

You may know something feels off, but not have the words for what you are feeling or why you keep responding the way you do. My work focuses on helping adults build emotional clarity: learning what feelings are, how they show up, where they may come from, and what to do with them once they are understood.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS,LPC

I work with adults, adolescents and families. We can all get trapped in our thoughts and circular logic that it’s like living with our head in a closed bag. Therapy can open that up as thoughts are examined and feelings acknowledged. I work with those anxious, depressed, confused, those having experienced trauma and those having a serious mental disorder. Youth have a tough time these days and can want an adult to listen to them, some especially if it’s not a parent. And parents are exhausted making sense of their teens and wanting the best for them. Keeping the family in the loop, I work equally well with boys and girls.

I provide therapy for a variety of issues, with specializations in eating disorders & self-esteem, as well as gender & sexual identities, & LGBTQ+ related concerns.
I enjoy helping my clients empower themselves to live the lives they wish to live, develop self-compassion, & embrace peace, through "talk therapy" and brainspotting. I believe many stressful behaviors (e.g., isolation, eating disorders) begin as a way to cope, when we feel we have little control. Even if certain behaviors are now causing you distress, it is amazing that you empowered yourself to manage times in your life when you didn't know how else manage. Now, we can figure out new strategies that not only allow you to survive, but to thrive, in a way that allows you to feel peaceful & free.

I am very interested in all that has been gained in the area of the brain and trauma research in the last decade and the new ways we have of approaching trauma as well as those troublesome unconscious patterns that drive us. These patterns very often leave us stuck without us even knowing it! Each person has huge untapped potential in reservoirs of which they are sometimes simply unaware. A situation that seems impossible can be infused with new creativity and that produces a very different type of response. Even telling the story is healing - a relief in itself.

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.
