Self Esteem
You know that voice in your head, the one that says you're not smart enough, not pretty enough, not doing enough? The one that compares you to everyone else and decides you're falling short? That voice has been running the show for a long time. And no matter how much you accomplish, it never seems to be enough. Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait. It's a pattern, and patterns can be changed.
Maybe you struggle to accept compliments. Maybe you stay in situations, jobs, relationships, friendships, that don't serve you because you don't believe you deserve better. Maybe you shrink yourself to make others comfortable, or you avoid putting yourself out there because the fear of rejection feels unbearable. These aren't character flaws. There are signs that somewhere along the way, you learned to see yourself through a lens that isn't accurate, and therapy can help you rewrite that story.
You are not what your inner critic tells you.
Together, we'll trace where these beliefs came from, the experiences, the messages, the relationships that shaped how you see yourself. Then we'll challenge them. I'll help you recognize the distorted thinking patterns that keep you feeling small, build self-compassion that doesn't depend on external validation, and start making choices that reflect who you actually are, not who you've been told you should be.
