Feeling good in your skin

Low self-esteem can stem from harsh self-talk, unrealistic expectations, or relationships that make you question your worth. You might feel guilty setting boundaries or stay in situations that chip away at your confidence.

Therapy can help you break those patterns, build self-worth, and create relationships that truly support you.

FAQs

How does your background help with self-esteem and relationship issues?
My doctoral research focused on self-esteem in romantic relationships, which gives me a deeper understanding of how self-worth shapes the relationships we choose, and in turn how relationship dynamics can shape self-worth. This insight helps me identify patterns quickly and use strategies that address both confidence and connection.

 

Can therapy help low self-esteem?
Yes. Therapy can help you understand the root of low self-worth, develop healthier behavior patterns, and build confidence in both personal and professional relationships.

What is relationship anxiety?
Relationship anxiety is ongoing worry, self-doubt, or fear of conflict that affects how you connect with others. It can stem from past experiences or low self-esteem.

How do I set better boundaries in relationships?
Therapy can help you identify your needs, communicate them clearly, and hold boundaries without guilt, leading to healthier and more balanced relationships.
