Wellness Solutions provides outpatient counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy services for clients who are aged 13 and older. Wellness Solutions clinical staff can help offer support, resources, and coping skills to clients who seek to develop self-esteem. Our staff offers compassionate care that is respectful, healing, and supportive. We help our clients develop the insight and skills they need to take control of their lives and manage their symptoms.
Self-esteem can be improved through strengths-building in all aspects of the personality. I have training using Internal Family Systems to enable clients to explore the different emotional/cognitive/behavioral patterns they experience across the life experience, to create change and become more empowered and self-reliant and effective.
Self-doubt and self-criticalness can stem from many places: trauma, negative personal/professional relationships, unrealistic internal/external expectations. Low self-esteem can cause and perpetuate depression, anxiety, negative thinking, relationship issues, issues with motivation/focus, and maladaptive and/or self-destructive behaviors. In therapy, I help clients identify the root of their feelings and ways to overcome them. Treatment is tailored to each client's needs and goals. Common modalities used during therapy may include Crisis Intervention, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Do you feel bad about yourself? Are you suffering from low self worth and lack of recognition about your strengths? Therapy can help you develop a positive regard and eradicate those negative cognitions that plaque you and prevent you from excelling in life.
Struggling with low self-esteem can color every aspect of life, hindering personal growth and happiness. But you deserve to see yourself through kinder eyes. As a specialist in counseling clients with self-esteem issues, I offer a nurturing and empowering space where you can explore the roots of your self-doubt and discover your inner worth. Together, we'll uncover the negative beliefs and patterns that hold you back, replacing them with self-compassion and confidence. Using evidence-based techniques and personalized strategies, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, helping you cultivate a positive self-image and live authentically. You deserve to feel worthy and capable, and I'm here to help you realize your inherent value and embrace your unique strengths.
Reframing our thinking about ourselves allows for us to build our self esteem from a clear prospective. I focus on strengths and values to help build self-efficacy and self-esteem. With a little extra encouragement you can go from a little to no confidence, to conquering the world. I will show you the way.
Many people would say they have low self-esteem. Humans tend to internalize negative messages more than positive ones, and over time our self-talk starts to reflect these negative messages. Additionally, when we experience negative self-talk, it clouds our perspective so that more and more we start interpreting neutral (or even mildly positive) messages in a negative way. Negative self-talk is often associated with feelings of failure, depression, anxiety and pessimism. The two primary therapeutic approaches that I use with clients are both evidence-based treatments for reducing symptoms that are often associated with low self-esteem. Accelerated Resolution Therapy can reduce the negative emotional reaction to triggers in an average of 1 to 5 sessions. Cognitive Behavior Therapy helps clients identify and replace the unhelpful thinking that leads to uncomfortable feelings and less preferred actions. Together, these two approaches can help bring faster relief and "clear your headspace" to learn new strategies and tools for identifying your strengths and "positizing" your perspective.
You have value and you deserve to feel seen and heard. We can work together to understand the origins of the issue and formulate a treatment plan to build confidence and develop an awareness of mental states that exacerbate negative thoughts of self.
