Anxiety & Self-esteem Support
Build confidence and find calm in the midst of life's challenges
You Don't Have to Feel This Way
Anxiety and low self-esteem often go hand in hand, creating a cycle that can feel impossible to break. You might find yourself constantly worrying, second-guessing your decisions, or feeling like you're never quite good enough. These feelings can impact every area of your life—your relationships, your work, your parenting, and your sense of peace.
The good news? These patterns can change. Through therapy, you can learn to manage anxiety, challenge negative self-beliefs, and develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Types of Anxiety I Work With
Self-Esteem Challenges
Low self-esteem can show up in many ways and often stems from past experiences, criticism, or messages you internalized growing up. You might struggle with:
Negative Self-Talk
Harsh inner critic, feeling like you're never good enough, or constantly comparing yourself to others.
People-Pleasing
Difficulty saying no, prioritizing others' needs over your own, or seeking constant validation.
Imposter Syndrome
Feeling like a fraud, downplaying your accomplishments, or fearing you'll be "found out."
Perfectionism
Setting impossibly high standards, fear of making mistakes, or feeling paralyzed by the need to be perfect.
Difficulty Accepting Compliments
Brushing off praise, feeling uncomfortable with positive attention, or believing others are just being nice.
Avoiding Challenges
Staying in your comfort zone, not pursuing goals, or giving up easily due to fear of failure.
