Therapy for anxious adults struggling with self-esteem, people-pleasing, and relationships.
What stops you from feeling
safe in relationships?
I help people who have a hard time saying no out of fear of being judged or rejected.
The clients I support often struggle with setting limits and seek therapy to better understand their anxiety and why they carry so much pressure to take care of others before themselves. I work with folks who strive to be “good” but keep feeling like they are coming up short. Despite being hardworking, successful at work, supportive to friends and family members, they still carry self-doubt.
Therapy May Be for You if:
- You are feeling burnt out by doing it all for everyone else
- Anger, guilt, anxiety, and resentment are emotions you experience regularly in relationships or at work
- Family members have high expectations of you to be successful or they expect you to be a constant resource to them
- In romantic relationships you go along with things even when you don’t want to because you’re afraid of being rejected or abandoned
- Playing it small has led to missed opportunities in love and at work
You are enough. You deserve relationships that are calming, respectful, and loving. Your needs and intuition are to be honored, not
ignored.
Let’s work together to get you where you want to be
I help clients in the areas of:
- self-esteem
- managing stress
- dating
- childhood neglect
- boundaries
- toxic work environments
- sexual assault
- guilt & shame
Feeling confidence and joy in your relationships is possible. You have an unyielding power to change, break patterns, and feel more connected and calm.

I will be a fierce advocate for you!
I work with lineage breakers who are wanting to heal generational trauma and create new paths for themselves. We are becoming more aware of how family trauma gets passed down. Some of your survival strategies, like people-pleasing, staying quiet, and being non-confrontational might have been useful to your younger self or even your ancestors at one point in time. But it might be preventing you from fully thriving in the present. It takes time but it is possible to tend to fearful part that tells you to keep saying yes, even when it doesn't serve you. It can be extremely uncomfortable at first, even scary, to say 'no' and communicate your needs and desires. It requires safety and a willingness to break silence. Making your needs and preferences a priority is a powerful act especially if you had to keep yourself safe by being small.
As your therapist, I will provide warmth, humor, creativity, and curiosity, and be a fierce advocate for your boundaries and needs. It takes courage to see a therapist. If you are ready to deep dive into the experiences and beliefs that are preventing you from making yourself a priority, then give me a call.
I provide in-person counseling to clients in Sacramento, CA as well as virtually throughout the state of California.
When you say yes to others, make sure you aren’t
saying no to yourself.
