SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES

Many people quietly struggle with low self-esteem, even if they seem confident on the outside. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone—and there is nothing “wrong” with you. Self-esteem isn’t something we’re born with; it’s something we learn, often shaped by our experiences. And the good news is that it can be rebuilt, strengthened, and nurtured at any stage of life.

You can learn to speak to yourself with more kindness, to trust your worth, and to feel more grounded in who you are. Change is absolutely possible, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
 

Low self-esteem can show up in many ways, such as:


• Feeling uncomfortable or unsure when someone gives you a compliment
• Being hard on yourself or using self-disparaging humor
• Having trouble saying “no,” even when you’re overwhelmed
• Worrying about rejection or disappointing others
• Feeling lost or uncertain about your goals
• Struggling to name your strengths or what you like about yourself
• Feeling anxious in social settings
• Holding yourself to impossible standards or fearing mistakes

If these experiences feel familiar, we can gently explore them together and begin building a more compassionate, confident version of yourself—one step at a time.

 
 

MY APPROACH

My first step is always to listen—gently, openly, and without judgment. I want to understand how low self-esteem shows up in your life and how it affects your relationships, decisions, and sense of self. Together, we explore where these patterns began and begin to create meaningful goals and an actionable plan for healing and growth.

TREATMENT MAY INCLUDE

Inner Child Work to understand early wounds and build self-compassion
• Identifying Positive Self-Attributes to strengthen your sense of worth
• Building Social Confidence so interactions feel less overwhelming
• Learning to Set Healthy Boundaries without guilt
• Understanding Attachment Patterns and how they shape relationships
• Reducing Fear of Rejection by building emotional resilience

The goal is to help you reconnect with a more confident, compassionate version of yourself—one who feels grounded, capable, and worthy of love and respect.
