If you're here, something in your life is asking for change. That takes courage — and it matters.
I've spent my career as a witness to some of the most remarkable stories of human resilience. People who arrived carrying what felt like insurmountable weight, and who found their way — not because the road got easier, but because they stopped walking it alone. I can't promise where the road will take us. But I can promise that nothing will derail my commitment to joining you on your journey toward healing.

Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world, but no one can see it? Do you feel unheard in your relationship? It can be hard to put emotions into words, especially when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break. The desire for peace is there, but knowing where to begin can feel daunting. Relationship conflict, whether with a partner, spouse, or loved one, can leave you feeling misunderstood, exhausted, and disconnected. Do the same arguments resurface? Does it sometimes feel like no matter how much you try, nothing changes?

I work with adolescents, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, racing thoughts, self-esteem challenges, and burnout.
You might be feeling anxious and experiencing constant racing thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed like you can’t quite get your head above water. Some days, even getting out of bed can feel like a challenge. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, navigating a difficult life transition, or struggling to communicate and connect with your partner or family members. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, depression, or major life changes.

I work with neurodiverse children, as well as those struggling with low self-esteem, emotional regulation, aggression, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
It’s incredibly hard watching your child struggle and not knowing how to help. It’s even harder when the school calls, again, with concerns about their behavior or emotions.
When children are met with empathy, warmth, and consistency, they have an incredible capacity for healing and growth. In our work together, I provide a supportive, playful space where your child can express themselves freely, build emotional awareness, and grow in confidence... all while supporting the wellbeing of your whole family.

Hello and welcome!
I have been a therapist for 15 + years now with a lot of life experience to go with that.

Some of my favorite work is with relationship issues (partner, adolescents, aging parents, friends); anxiety and depression; grief and loss; death and dying; family estrangement (religious, political, etc.); people who are questioning their sexuality and gender, and religious deconstruction.

I know that navigating the daily challenges of life can be exhausting, overwhelming, and isolating. I believe that counseling can be a positive, satisfying exploration of such experiences in a safe space. Clients I work with are often searching for a place to process their life circumstances, both past and present. They may be struggling with sense of self, relationships, grief, anxiety, or coping with change. My goal is for clients to leave sessions feeling seen, encouraged, and respected in their unique life journeys, no matter what that journey might be like.
I'm also an LPC Associate, supervised by Hannah Grossman, LPC-S!

You've spent so much time trying to be who everyone else needed you to be that you're not sure what you need anymore. Maybe anxiety keeps you overthinking every decision, perfectionism makes nothing feel good enough, or you've spent years masking parts of yourself just to get through the day. Therapy can help you understand why these patterns developed, let go of shame that was never yours to carry, and build a life that feels more authentic and sustainable. I specialize in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ adults, offering an affirming, collaborative space where you don't have to explain or hide who you are.

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.
