I help people struggling with low self-esteem grow their love and acceptance for themselves.
Hi! Do you struggle with low self-esteem, make negative comments about yourself, or are overly self-critical? Many of us struggle with a harsh inner critic telling us that we're not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, etc. In sessions, I focus on creating an emotionally safe space so that together, we can work towards your goals of quieting the inner critic and growing your self-esteem so you feel good enough! I am trained in using a variety of therapeutic techniques including CBT, ACT, and EMDR. I use a trauma-informed approach and provide empathy and warmth in my sessions. Depending on what you are struggling with, we may work on coping skills to empower you to manage your symptoms in a healthy manner in every day life. I truly believe in the mind-body-spirit connection and have taken other trainings that influence my therapy practice. I am trained in teaching yoga and a Reiki master. I am happy to incorporate these approaches in our sessions if that is something you are interested in.
