Self-esteem shapes how you see yourself, relate to others, and engage with the world. Confidence is a cornerstone of happiness, fulfillment, and healthy relationships. I provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore the roots of self-doubt, address negative self-perceptions, and build lasting self-confidence. Taking the first step toward therapy is a powerful way to invest in yourself and your future.

As a psychodynamic therapist in NYC, I help you develop a stronger, more cohesive sense of self. Together, we’ll explore your identity, how you perceive yourself, and the ways these perceptions impact your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. This process fosters self-understanding, emotional clarity, and a deeper connection with who you truly are.

Low self-esteem often stems from past experiences, internalized criticism, or persistent negative beliefs. By identifying these root causes, we can work to build a more positive self-image, reinforce healthy self-perceptions, and support improved mental health. Therapy helps you internalize positivity, develop self-compassion, and cultivate a resilient sense of self.

A critical inner voice may undermine your confidence, causing doubt, fear of failure, or hesitation in pursuing goals. By exploring your inner world, we’ll work to dismantle these barriers and create space for stability, self-assurance, and fulfillment. Through this work, you can step into your personal power and approach life with greater confidence and joy.
