Self-Esteem

Specializing in treating Individuals of all ages struggling with low self-esteem, people pleasing behaviors, and difficulty setting personal boundaries.

Self Esteem & Soul work is all about empowerment. It’s about deciding to move in a direction that honors what you truly want for yourself, not what your family or society believe is best for you. Our culture has worked hard to have a powerful hold on us and it takes courage to take a look at ourselves and our lives to see if we are leading it, or if others are doing it for us. We don’t work to fix our ourselves, we work to discover and cherish our true selves.

I strive to provide a supportive environment in which my clients can the process of self discovery and understanding that leads to empowerment and self love.

Most of us are not born with low self-esteem, but along the way things knock us down and shape us in a less-than-ideal way. Let's work together to move through these blocks and help you grow into the confident, capable individual you were made to be!

My specialty is in resolving trauma to improve relationships, overcome shame, develop self-compassion and build self-worth. Additionally, I help individuals of all ages struggling with low self-esteem, people pleasing behaviors, and difficulty setting boundaries

I specialize in identifying strengths and boosting self-esteem. I empower clients to build confidence, recognize their worth, and achieve personal growth and happiness.

Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of their own worth, value, and confidence. It reflects how a person feels about themselves and their abilities, and it plays a significant role in shaping their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Self-esteem is a crucial component of mental and emotional well-being, influencing various aspects of a person's life, including their relationships, career, and overall quality of life. Healthy self-esteem is essential for mental and emotional well-being.

Releasing fear and grabbing hold of your inner strength to be able to release your internal dialogue of power, boldness and confidence. This will be explored through mantras, affirmations, guided meditation, and the power of presence.

Self-esteem and depression often go hand in hand. If you aren't feeling very good about yourself, you're probably not feeling very good about your life and your future. I'll help you work through feelings of inadequacy, shame, and guilt, and start acting in ways that respect the true value of who you are. I encourage client's to learn about and practice self-compassion (if you're assuming this just means being nicer to yourself- you're wrong- it's so much more)!

I take a focus with almost all of my clients, to help them to develop a more positive self-image and self-acceptance. Low self-esteem often can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms. By addressing the way we view ourselves we can change the way we view the world. Self-compassion and positive talk has been a integral and transformative part of the work I have done over the past 5 years.

To improve self-esteem, I will help you learn how to trust your gut and really pay attention to what is happening inside of you. Our intuition is often referred to as our “inner voice” most commonly known as a gut feeling. Body Psychotherapy & Embodied Spirituality utilize the body as a compass along with visualization and mindfulness, to create healthy boundaries in your relationships, so that you have space to manifest how you want to be in the world, and heal negative thinking patterns.

Loving and accepting yourself as you authentically are is not as easy as it sounds. For everyone, the journey toward self care is different. I will listen to you and be there for you as you learn how to value and respect yourself. You deserve care. I can help.

I have worked with many women and men who initially seek out counseling for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and work issues--and often underlying these problems is a lack of trust in themselves, lots of negative self-talk, and unfinished healing from past family and relationship events. My hope is to create a safe environment to better understand what is happening and to then collaborate in implementing skills that will foster self-confidence, and self acceptance.

Much of my client work has centered on self-esteem, because I believe that self-love is the missing piece so many of us are longing for. Misled by mainstream society, we seek this happiness outside of ourselves in the form of material possession or egoic striving. But self-love is always available to us, and it is a skill that be learned. Self-love is also the path to more functional and deepened relationships with others.

Finding the causes of your negative thoughts and beliefs and then replacing them for positive affirmations and believes we will start building your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what is causing those feelings of emptiness or a sense of not being good enough. We can work together to look into your past and see where this pattern began so that you can break out of the cycle of self-criticism. That critical voice is trying to protect you from something, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. We can work together to find a way to love all the parts of yourself and get them on the same page working towards your goals.

Therapy and changing our beliefs, behavior, and how we think about ourselves can raise our self-esteem. I use a 'person-centered' approach when it comes to address issues with self-worth - meaning that we work from the inside out. Additionally I use CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to address these concerns so you recognize and change the core beliefs that get in the way of building confidence.

Are you struggling to break free from anxiety, self-doubt or critical thoughts about yourself? We often are our worst and these thoughts can really impact how we feel about yourselves and how we show up in relationships. When the stories we tell ourselves are negative and limiting, they can stop you from participating in and enjoying life fully. I can help give you the skills to help you break free from these limiting narratives and finding greater confidence in yourself.
