Therapy for Individuals Struggling with Low Self-Esteem, Perfectionism, or People-Pleasing in Missouri and Florida

As a recovering people-pleaser, I understand feeling like my worth is contingent upon my ability to make everyone happy. I gave my best efforts in my roles, but I couldn't find lasting joy or fulfillment. Nothing was significantly wrong in my life, so I thought I was the problem. During self-discovery, I learned that people-pleasing was a trauma-response where I absorbed other people's feelings and lost myself in overthinking and self-abandonment. 

 

​​​​Through my grief and loss of relationships, I realized that I needed to reconstruct my inner world. I turned to various healing modalities, and slowly shifted my mindset about self and others. Recovering from people-pleasing is a lot like going to the gym. You can get the best result when you have a trainer who is qualified and can guide you to overcome your limits. I will help you expand your capacity to love and be present with yourself. As you love yourself, you will be able to prioritize your own needs, set healthy boundaries, and live courageously.
