How I Help You to Heal From People-Pleasing
Healing Starts with Reclaiming your self-worth and authentic voice
-
People-Pleasing → Self-Pleasing
People-pleasing feels automatic — like it’s the only way to feel good. I’ll help you reconnect with what you want, so you can feel good without losing yourself.
-
Self-Doubt → Self-Trust
If your inner critic runs the show, it’s hard to trust yourself. Together, we’ll quiet the self-doubt and help you tune into your authentic voice.
-
Self-Blame → Self-Love
Putting yourself first isn’t selfish — it’s essential. I’ll help you build self-worth from the inside out, not based on how others see you.
-
Daydreaming → Living the Dream
You imagine a more authentic life but feel stuck. I’ll guide you with practical steps to turn your hopes into real, lasting change.

Breakthrough with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine can enhance neuroplasticity and reduce the grip of negative thought patterns, allowing for deeper emotional insight. When combined with therapy, it can accelerate healing, helping you move beyond people-pleasing and access a more authentic, empowered version of yourself.
