The formation of self-esteem begins early in life when caregivers mirror us by responding with support and attunement. Although we may not be able to turn back time, we can cultivate a safe and supportive attachment relationship in the therapy which can serve as a space to rebuild sense of self. Self-compassion and an honouring of our uniqueness can remind us that we all have a place in the world. Through increased confidence in communication and boundary setting, we can begin to see and be seen differently in the world.

Our relationship with ourselves is the most important relationship we have. We teach others how to treat us based on our relationship with ourselves. I can assist you in improving your self esteem by helping you identify your needs and how to get them met as well as understanding your boundaries and how to set them.
From a trauma-informed approach, issues with self-esteem and self-worth are manifestations of unresolved trauma that has resulted in becoming disconnected and feeling unworthy, broken, incomplete or not enough. The work we can do together will include helping you better understand yourself, developing self-love, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance, and processing the unresolved trauma so you can ultimately reconnect to yourself.

Self-esteem is all about how we value and perceive ourselves. Connected to that are the standards and expectations we set for ourselves and others. At its core, self-esteem is based on the opinions, beliefs and narrative our minds hold about ourselves, which can feel difficult to change. How we define and measure our self-esteem can deeply affect whether we value ourselves, respect ourselves or even like ourselves. Therapy focused on self-esteem work challenges us to cultivate a deeply personal and meaningful definition of self-esteem, one that is holistic in nature. Once we have done that, we can then set up weekly experiences that ask us to live through that definition.

Self-esteem is how we value and perceive ourselves. It's based on our opinions and beliefs about ourselves, which can feel challenging to change. We might also think of this as self-confidence. Your self-esteem can affect whether you: Like and value yourself. When your self-esteem and self-value are low, you may need some guidance and support to steer you back onto the right path where you can regain a sense of self-confidence and well being.
Do you feel like an imposter? Do you secretly fear that you're not good enough? Do you worry that your true self is unlovable? Did you know that these feelings often stem from past attachment wounds and the self-protective strategies we often develop to avoid additional emotional pain? Sometimes, these strategies become resistant to change, and what was once helpful becomes harmful. Using integrative therapy techniques from a foundation of emotion focused therapy our therapists are trained to help you get to the root of your self-esteem issues so that you can grow into feeling and being your best self. Contact us today for a free consultation to help us match you to the right therapist for your unique needs.

Self-esteem is one's sense of self-worth. Low self-esteem can lead to negative self-talk and increased vulnerability to mental health issues. Therapy aims to challenge negative beliefs and foster a positive self-image using techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and affirmations, providing a supportive environment for building confidence.

Self-esteem is the foundation of our identity; it determines how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. Discovering your self-culture is an essential step in developing a healthy sense of self-esteem. It’s about accepting who you are and what you stand for, which in turn helps you cultivate more meaningful relationships and pursue a fulfilling life. It's time to embrace your unique identity and nurture your self-esteem to a new height.

The way you feel about yourself is the foundation to your achievements, your relationships, and most importantly your happiness. We often define ourselves based on how others "see" us. I will teach you that self-love is the most important love and your relationship with a mirror is the only one that ultimately matters.

I deeply enjoy, working with clients to enhance their self-esteem and self-compassion. It's an area of focus that despite what clients show up with, we tend to have a conversation around. I work with clients to not simply convince themselves into having a greater sense of self-esteem and self-worth, but to truly understand where their beliefs come from, and identify ways in which to rewrite this.
Persistent and chronic self-esteem issues often stem from parental abuse, sexual abuse and/or excessive bullying in childhood. Adult onset self-esteem issues can often be traced back to traumatic breakups, intimate partner violence, and/or workplace bullying and layoffs. We will uncover the root cause behind your self-esteem issues and process the traumatic memories using EMDR Therapy, while releasing and unburdening any entrenched maladaptive behaviours using Internal Family Systems, Ego States Therapy and Attachment-focused EMDR. Email me for a free 30-min phone consultation to discuss more.
Self-esteem can affect every aspect of our lives, from our relationships with others to how we think about and treat ourselves. Often, we can recognize a desire to improve our self-esteem but feel lost when trying to figure out what to do first. In my work with individuals, I foster self-esteem improvement by celebrating and exploring each person’s individuality and strengths. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.
A compromised self-esteem, that is, the way one sees themselves and the beliefs one holds about themselves, can have an extreme impact on one's quality of life; it shapes how they see the world, others, and the potential for what happens in the future. No one is born with poor self-esteem, it is learned; being able to unlearn these negative, maladaptive, and dysfunctional beliefs, and how to build one's self-esteem up so that an individual can believe, care about, and take care of, themselves, is imperative to a positive quality of life.
