If being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now.

Struggling with food, body image, or control can feel exhausting and isolating. You may find yourself caught in cycles of restriction, overeating, or constant self-criticism; never feeling fully at peace in your own body. In therapy, we’ll work to understand the deeper emotions driving these patterns and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone.

Low self-esteem can show up in quiet but powerful ways; constant self-doubt, comparison, or feeling like you’re never enough. In therapy, we’ll work to quiet your inner critic, build confidence, and help you reconnect with your strengths and values. Together, we’ll create a space where you can begin to see yourself with more kindness and trust who you are.

If social situations leave you feeling tense, self-conscious, or worried about saying the “wrong” thing, you’re not alone. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions like school, work, or even friendships feel overwhelming. In therapy, we’ll focus on understanding where your anxiety comes from, learning practical tools to manage it, and building confidence so you can connect with others more comfortably and authentically.

Whether it’s tests, sports, or public speaking, performance anxiety can make it hard to show up as your best self, even when you’ve prepared. You might feel intense pressure to be perfect, worry about disappointing others, or freeze under stress. In therapy, we’ll work on calming your mind and body, managing self-criticism, and building confidence so you can perform with more ease and trust in your abilities.

If you often put others’ needs before your own, struggle to say no, or feel anxious when someone is upset with you, you may be stuck in a pattern of people-pleasing. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and losing touch with what you really want. In therapy, we’ll explore where these patterns come from and help you set healthy boundaries, build confidence, and start showing up in relationships more authentically without the guilt.

You hold yourself to incredibly high standards, always striving to do more, do better, and never let anyone down. But underneath the drive to succeed, you may feel anxious, burned out, or like nothing you do is ever quite enough. In therapy, we’ll work to understand where that pressure comes from, challenge unhelpful patterns, and help you find a healthier balance, so you can still achieve and grow, but with more self-compassion and ease.
