I will help you identify and challenge negative self-talk and beliefs, while promoting self-compassion and acceptance. Cognitive-behavioral techniques may be used to reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop more realistic and positive self-perceptions. Additionally, therapy may involve exploring past experiences and relationships that have influenced self-esteem, fostering greater self-awareness and understanding.
Do you struggle with feeling down on yourself or are you uncertain of your worth? I have over 24 years of experience helping individuals build stronger self-esteem and navigate the emotional challenges that may be contributing to these feelings. I specialize in supporting individuals who experience low self-esteem, negative self-talk, self-criticism, and underlying emotional difficulties.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, A.R.T., and EMDR, to help you develop self-compassion, identify your strengths, and build healthier coping mechanisms.

You find yourself ruminating about the same situations without making decisions or changes.You need 10 different opinions before you can make a decision. You don't trust your inner voice, or maybe, you don't even hear your inner voice. Seeking therapy can help.
Therapy is a time set aside just for you for 50 minutes weekly in which the focus is entirely on you, your needs and sometimes needing to sort out what those needs actually may be. As important as the significant people in our lives are, people have opinions that come from a personal place. It is difficult to always separate “advice” from the “advice giver’s” perspective and their own needs. Therapy is not about being given advice. It is not about the therapist being judge or jury. It is not about the need for the therapist to have you do something in a way that makes the therapist happy or feel good. It is about being helped to unfold what you already know, your truth, not mine, and to allow what you know, need, and want to begin to emerge from underneath all the outside noise and influences.
I understand self-esteem's profound impact on every aspect of our lives. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or a lack of confidence, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore your feelings and beliefs about yourself.
Self-esteem issues can profoundly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, low self-esteem can lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism and hinder healthy relationship dynamics, exacerbating feelings of loneliness and depression. My role is to create a supportive space for individuals to address their self-esteem issues. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and develop strategies to challenge them. I also help build self-confidence through positive affirmations, goal-setting, and self-care activities.
Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy and chronic self-doubt? Even the most successful people, who appear to have it all together, have to fight their own inner critic to get to where they are in life. However, unspoken fears or negative thoughts that induce self-doubt can turn into self-fulfilling prophecies and get in the way of you realizing your full potential. It isn’t easy to admit out loud one’s feelings of inadequacy but it sure is liberating and empowering to understand its roots and learn ways to break the cycle of impostor thinking. You can reclaim your self worth! I'm here to help.
Usually we have a problem with self esteem either as a protection or because someone inserted thoughts in our brain. Depending on what led to this self esteem issue, I think a thorough assessment should be done so we can understand this part of you. We can learn to be more nonjudgmental and even change those thoughts.
