Does this sound like you?

You hold yourself to an impossibly high standard—and feel like you’re constantly falling short

You struggle to internalize your accomplishments, brushing off praise or attributing success to luck

You find it difficult to trust your judgment, often second-guessing your choices

You feel depleted trying to appear “together” while inwardly questioning your worth

You are constantly in “people pleasing” mode, but rarely in touch with your own needs

Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like self-loathing—it can show up as perfectionism, over-functioning, or a chronic sense that who you are is somehow not enough.

These patterns often develop over years, shaped by early experiences, cultural narratives, or relationships that taught you to be hyper-vigilant about how you’re perceived.

Now, in your 20s and 30s, you are ready to take the next step to end this cycle of negativity. In therapy, we’ll take a thoughtful look at how these internalized beliefs were formed and the ways they continue to impact your daily life—from your relationships to your career. Together, we’ll build a more compassionate, grounded relationship with yourself.

Using evidence-based strategies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we’ll begin to challenge distorted thinking, soften your inner critic, calm your nervous system, and foster a more resilient and stable sense of self.

Remember, you don’t need to be perfect to be worthy.
