I am a Registered Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals who have experienced intergenerational trauma. Do you fear disappointing anyone? Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you feel responsible for how others feel? Are you great at taking care of others but struggle to recognize your own needs? Impacts of childhood family trauma can be pervasive and show up in our adult lives in the form of anxiety, depression, family and relationship conflicts, and low self-esteem/self-worth.

My therapeutic approach is centered on creating an accepting and responsive environment. Beyond that, I view therapy as a process that facilitates a healthier relationship with oneself and proactively disrupts patterns causing distress. I balance insight and understanding with change-focused, effective coping strategies that comprehensively address areas of difficulty and challenge. This is often achieved by leveraging awareness of underlying emotions, unmet needs, and unresolved experiences to pave the way towards symptom reduction and meaningful change, noticeably enhancing quality of life.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with stressors of life or find ourselves disconnected from our feelings. We struggle with self-esteem and are not sure how to become the person we want to be. At times we might feel like giving up on ourselves and our relationships. Pushing away your needs and not addressing your sense of self-respect can lead to long-term negative feelings such as anxiety, anger, or guilt.

Self Esteem Counsellors
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.
