“My goal is to help you feel more grounded and in control, reconnect with joy, and create relationships that feel emotionally alive and supportive.

“I have over fifteen years experience in working with children, adolescents, their families, and adults with various mental health disorders.

“I specialize in working with military service members, veterans, first responders (law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS personnel), and individuals struggling with the effects of complex trauma and addiction. I understand the unique demands of high-stress professions, including repeated exposure to critical incidents, operational stress, burnout, moral injury, and the challenges that can arise when balancing work, family, and personal well-being. My practice is focused on helping clients navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and life transitions. I work with individuals who may feel stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by past experiences, or caught in patterns of addiction that no longer serve them. Drawing on both extensive professional experience and clinical training, I provide a supportive, direct, and practical approach to treatment.”
“My practice focuses on individuals who feel they fall outside of traditional narratives of what our lives "should" look like.

Start with the state where you will physically be during sessions, then review provider profiles for experience with self-esteem, confidence, shame, perfectionism, or relationship patterns. You can narrow your search by insurance, language, age group, and modality. If you want one-on-one support, individual therapy is often a strong place to begin.
Browse another specialty or explore providers by location and type of care. If you travel or live in more than one state, review your options for continuing care across locations.
Start with the state where you will physically be during sessions, then review provider profiles for experience with self-esteem, confidence, shame, perfectionism, or relationship patterns. You can narrow your search by insurance, language, age group, and modality. If you want one-on-one support, individual therapy is the best place to begin.
Ask what kinds of self-esteem concerns they commonly help with, what online sessions are like, and how they approach goals such as confidence, boundaries, or self-worth. It also helps to ask about fees, insurance, session frequency, and availability. If your concerns connect to anxiety, trauma, relationships, or eating disorder issues, ask whether they treat those concerns too.
Your therapist does not have to live in your state, but they need to be licensed for the state where you are physically located during each session. That is why travel can affect whether they can meet with you. Before booking, check the provider’s policy and whether they practice across states. If you travel frequently or split time between states, you can also browse therapists licensed in multiple states.
Many providers accept insurance for online therapy, but coverage depends on your plan, the provider, and the kind of service you receive. Some providers are in-network, while others offer private pay and may give you paperwork for out-of-network reimbursement. Before you book, check the session fee, copay, deductible, cancellation policy, and whether benefits differ for virtual care.
Most online therapy appointments work best in a private location with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many sessions happen by video, but phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email may also be used depending on the provider and service. Providers may also have policies about where sessions can take place, so check ahead if privacy or location may be an issue.
Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be a poor fit if virtual sessions feel too distracting or unsafe in your current environment. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
The best fit depends on what is affecting your self-esteem. Individual therapy is common for personal patterns, self-criticism, and confidence building. Child or teen therapy can help younger clients with bullying, identity, or school stress. Couples counseling, family therapy, and group therapy may also be helpful when relationships strongly affect self-worth.
Look for a provider whose profile mentions self-esteem directly or related concerns such as perfectionism, shame, social anxiety, body image, people-pleasing, or difficult relationships. A good fit also depends on whether you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being honest. Many people know after the first few sessions whether the provider’s style feels supportive, practical, and aligned with their goals.
Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
