I help people move to more self-compassion and finding a better sense of themselves leading to a healthier sense of self-esteem. I'm a compassionate and culturally-competent therapist and counselor, with an interest in working with individuals and couples including on all kinds of issues. I believe we can all experience helping people move towards a better and healthier life. I'm trained in DBT, CBT, compassion focused therapy and couples work, and I especially enjoy working with people bringing issues concerning race, culture, religion and spirituality. I offer a free 15-minute consultation with anyone interested in working with me, and I look forward to speaking with you about what you want to accomplish in therapy.
Researchers believe that self-esteem and feelings of shame are programed in to us in our early lives. Feelings of core shame can cause us to distort or misinterpret even positive or neutral social or work interactions--leaving us feeling rejected or devalued. This can become a vicious cycle causing anxiety, depression, and stress. If you suffer from low self-esteem and shame, psychotherapy can help you to gain tools to regulate the fear and stress you are experiencing and move toward positive change.

Self-esteem is developed from Unconditional Love, which we did not receive. Instead, all the PMES abandonment lead us to believe being un-loved was our fault. This is self-hate, which erodes our will & serenity. Developing the Loving Parent Voice heals & provides self-confidence. (Blog : 2011)
