Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
A person's sense of self is initially formed in early relationships with attachment figures but continues to be impacted positively or negatively by individuals throughout one's lifespan who provide nurturing, mirroring responses or injurious ones. In my work with clients I seek to bolster one's sense of self by unearthing negative messages that have been internalized and helping individuals to rewrite their narratives.

Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

Psychologist, PhD
It is not difficult in a world where comparison is everywhere for so many people of all ages can struggle with feeling a strong sense of self-worth. I work with you to understand the roots of self-esteem issues, whether they stem from depression, trauma or other early learning experiences, or simply arise because you are a human with a mind that likes to compare things. Then we focus on living a life defined by what you want to be about, not falsely limited by a sense of deserving less.
