The way we see ourselves has a huge impact on our personal relationships, mental health, and overall success. Low self-esteem or a poor self-image can cause depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationships issues. I find that once a person becomes comfortable in their own skin they are able to live a more happy and empowered life.

People who struggle with their self-esteem may struggle with social anxiety, confidence, or body image which can lead to personal, emotional and relationship distress. Often times people with low-self esteem also struggle with poor self-confidence and don’t believe in themselves or their ability to succeed. People with an impaired sense of self or poor self-esteem feel as if they don't have control over what happens to them, and as a result may have difficulty taking initiative or personal responsibility. They believe they are not smart, strong, talented, or good enough- commonly becoming passive observers in their own life.  In many cases, people with low self-esteem or poor self-confidence may blame other people or external events to avoid experiencing feelings of shame, guilt, or regret.

If you find yourself using negative self talk or often feel as if you want to give up, you may be struggling with your self-esteem. 
​
Self-esteem is not about our achievements or how good we feel when we succeed. Self-esteem is measured by our sense of self including how we view ourselves and our personal resilience when facing adversity.  
​
My work aims to get to the heart of the problem to help you recover from stress, anxiety, or depression resulting from limiting self-beliefs. Therapy sessions focus on the way you feel about yourself putting an end to unhelpful beliefs and negative self-talk that impact your sense of self and self-esteem. The 
goal of therapy for self-esteem is to improve your personal feelings of resilience so that  you are able to live more authentically.
