Self-Esteem & Personal Growth Therapy Across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Self-Esteem & Personal Growth in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Explore self-doubt, guilt, shame, people-pleasing, and difficulty with boundaries, and work toward trusting yourself and relating in ways that feel more true to who you are.
When self-doubt and old relational patterns keep you feeling stuck.
Guilt often appears when you try to protect your own needs. Together we can work toward clearer limits that still feel true to what matters to you.
Caring for others can become a habit that leaves little room for you. Therapy can help you explore people-pleasing patterns and make more space for your own needs without abandoning the people you care about.
Feeling like you have to keep the peace or carry everyone else's feelings can leave you depleted. Therapy can help you loosen that weight and respond with more balance.
These feelings may have developed as ways of staying connected or safe. Understanding them can make room for a kinder relationship with yourself.
A supportive space to reconnect with your strengths and grow with greater confidence.
We'll work toward building greater confidence in yourself, trusting your own judgment, and developing a stronger sense of who you are outside of others' expectations or roles.
We'll look at the situations that bring out familiar reactions — such as shutting down, overexplaining, taking on too much responsibility, or doubting yourself — and work on responding in ways that feel more deliberate and true to who you are now.
We'll explore how early experiences, relationships, and expectations may have shaped the way you see yourself. This can help you recognize that many patterns you criticize in yourself once developed for a reason.

I am in-network with Aetna and Cigna and also accept self-pay. If you have out-of-network insurance, I can provide a Superbill after each session that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Because benefits vary by plan, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health coverage, reimbursement rates, deductible, and any out-of-pocket costs.
