I see entering therapy as sacred work. I view relationships as our biggest vehicles of growth in life and believe every relationship has something that can be learned from it to help us embrace more of who we really are. I specialize in individual, couple and sex therapy, as well as trauma.
I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) in recovery from mental health conditions and life stressors. Some of these include anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use disorders, eating disorders, loss, grief, life transitions, women's and LGBTQIA+ health issues and trauma.
Self esteem is an inside job. Most of us have made up stories of ourselves to keep us safe from disappointment, failure, rejection, etc. And, unless we take risk and take uncomfortable action, we will stay stuck as a victim with a story to prove we are right. Staying safe and comfortable does nothing positive for our self-esteem. This is where I find it useful to push people a bit from more of a coaching perspective to hold people accountable in taking action in ways they are going to act differently to get the results they want, and by when did you say?

In therapy, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your self-esteem issues, challenge negative beliefs about yourself, and learn to cultivate a more positive and compassionate self-image.

We all know that social media severely impacts our self-esteem. But we also can't completely avoid social media these days! So how do we build and maintain confidence while being exposed to things that directly work to break it down?? Therapy. We can work on understanding where your beliefs about yourself come from, what role models you had/have that are helpful or harmful, and figuring our how to believe in your own wonderful ability.
Self esteem is a the root of many mental health problems: social and other forms of anxiety, depression, harmful relationship choices and sexual confidence to name a few. Whether it is home life or media that instills the ideal of perfect, or provides just a few limited acceptable options on how to be, the ramifications can be lifelong. Therapy is a safe space to better understand and explore yourself and develop certainty in who you are, as well as being a supportive therapeutic relationship to better inform you of who and what are you supports outside of the therapy room.
