My work also includes helping adults heal from trauma across the lifespan & reduce self-criticism while building self-esteem.
You’ve learned how to function but not how to feel free. You may be the strong one, the deep feeler, the one others rely on. But inside, you're exhausted. Maybe anxiety runs the show. Maybe you’re grieving something no one else can see. Maybe your relationships feel stuck in the same painful cycles, no matter how much you try to change. You long for relief, but more than that, you long to feel like yourself. To be deeply known, to speak your truth without guilt, to feel peace in your body and clarity in your choices. To stop repeating old patterns and start living from a place that’s grounded and real. That’s the work I love to do!

Through therapy we are able to start at the goal of how we want to feel and/or behave and work backwards by creating specific steps to get there. I hold a few beliefs through my practice and these include: 1.The person you spend the most time with is yourself so how we talk to and about ourselves matters. 2. We get the best results when we look at all aspects of health including physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, social, and all others. and 3. We can not stop all bad things and pain from happening in life. We can work hard to cope with them in a way that is effective for us. I look forward to hearing your story.

We are all becoming. Becoming more confident, more weighed down by the stressors of life and our relationships, more independent, and more unsure of our identity or place in the world. And the most confusing part: all of those ‘becomings’ are happening at the same time. How are we able to celebrate the joys in our worlds while feeling tied to pressures that are both external to us and internal, hitting close to vulnerable wounds? Welcome to Becoming Therapy Services. By engaging in open and collaborative dialogue, we will use tools to help discover the stories that deserve a voice and parts of you that exist beyond the surface.

You know that feeling. Smiling on the outside while everything inside feels heavy. Saying “I’m good” out of habit, even when it’s not true. Getting stuck in that constant loop of not enough, too much, don’t upset anyone. It’s exhausting to keep performing, to keep it all together, to carry things that were never yours in the first place. Here’s the thing: you don’t need more quick fixes or surface-level tools. You need honesty. The kind that lets you actually see yourself clearly and compassionately. This work is about coming back to who you really are underneath the pressure, the expectations, the roles you’ve learned to play.

Stressors related to work, relationships, medical conditions and other key areas of life occur every single day, and sometimes they may become overwhelming and out of control. Most of the time, we are able to help ourselves out of these types of situations, but there are times when it is too challenging to handle alone. When that happens, we often find ourselves stuck and unable to react, or continue to use solutions that may not be the best for us. It can be very draining and demotivating, and spiraling out of control. We sometimes want someone to find a solution for us, while at other times, we just want someone to listen to us.

Does your happiness and self-worth yo-yo up and down depending on the current circumstances of your life?
I work with my clients to increase their self-compassion while getting to know themselves on a deeper level. As they do, patterns, and past traumas sometimes emerge. As these are released and resolved, healing and self-growth naturally occur. Often, hidden goals, abilities, contentment, laughter and talents come out.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.

What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.

What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.

How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
