About Esther

Esther is a mental health therapist and complex trauma consultant. She has worked with people in survival for more than 15 years. During most of her career she worked in homes, correction facilities, community mental health centers, and school systems. These settings allowed her to witness, first-hand, the brutal impact of systemic abuse and complex trauma on individuals, families and communities. This work pushed her to listen, learn, and adapt her practice to believe and honor the experiences of her clients.

Esther uses many therapy modalities and draws from her understanding of neuroscience to find approaches that work best for your situation. She loves explaining the “why” behind your mental health so that you can better understand what’s going on with your own body and brain, and shift from self-blame to self-compassion.

She believes that slow and steady work leads to the best long-term outcomes and that having to change providers over and over often leads to losing hope in the healing process. This is why Esther maintains a small, part-time practice; so that each client gets the attention and space they need, for as long as they need.
