Therapy for Codependency, People-Pleasing, and Low Self-Worth

Are you exhausted from putting everyone else first—yet still feeling unseen, disconnected, or not enough?

If you struggle with codependency, people-pleasing, or a harsh inner critic, you’re not broken. These patterns often developed early as ways to stay connected, avoid conflict, or feel safe in relationships. What once helped you survive may now be costing you your sense of self.

You Might Recognize Yourself Here

  • You walk on eggshells and silence your needs to keep the peace

  • You say yes when you want to say no

  • You feel guilty when you prioritize yourself

  • You fear that setting boundaries will lead to rejection

  • You give endlessly and still feel it’s never enough

  • You feel pressure to be perfect or “do it right”

  • Your inner critic is loud and relentless

  • You feel disconnected, lonely, or emotionally shut down

  • You’re tired of being the strong one

These experiences are often rooted in low self-worth, not because you lack value, but because you learned to measure your worth through others.

How Therapy Helps

Therapy offers a calm, compassionate space to understand and shift these patterns—without blame or judgment.

My work focuses on increasing self-awareness, strengthening self-compassion, and helping you reconnect with your emotional and relational needs. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and body signals so you can respond differently instead of staying stuck in old survival patterns.

Through therapy, you can:

  • Heal from codependency and chronic people-pleasing

  • Quiet the inner critic and build self-trust

  • Set boundaries without guilt or fear

  • Feel more present and connected in relationships

  • Reclaim a grounded sense of self-worth

I work with individuals and couples who are motivated for meaningful change and ready to create healthier, more authentic relationships.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

If you’re here, something in you already knows the current way isn’t working.

Change doesn’t come from pushing harder. It begins with self-compassion—and learning to relate to yourself differently.

Therapy can help you come home to yourself.
