When self-worth is impacted, it can feel difficult to trust your instincts or believe in your ability to move forward. You might find yourself stuck in patterns of comparison, perfectionism, or harsh inner criticism.

In therapy, we’ll work together to gently untangle these patterns. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other strengths-based techniques, we’ll identify and challenge negative thought loops, develop more balanced thinking, and introduce practical tools to shift your daily experience. CBT can be especially effective in treating depression by helping you reframe unhelpful beliefs and reconnect with activities and relationships that bring meaning and joy.

For example, if you often find yourself thinking, “I’m not doing enough, and I’ll never catch up,” we’ll look at where that thought comes from, how it impacts your mood and behavior, and how we can shift it to something more realistic and compassionate—like “I’m doing my best, and I deserve to rest.” These subtle shifts can make a real difference in how you feel each day.
