You'd never speak to anyone else this way.
For the inner voice that criticizes everything you do, and the self-worth that never quite arrives.
You can be competent, kind, and admired by others and still believe, privately, that you're not enough. Compliments slide off. Achievements move the finish line instead of settling anything. And the voice in your head is harsher than any critic outside it — often in words you first heard from someone else, a long time ago.
Self-worth isn't built by collecting more accomplishments; that path has no end. In therapy we trace where the critical voice came from, loosen its authority, and build a steadier sense of worth that doesn't depend on performing, pleasing, or being perfect.
As a person-centered therapist, I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is not to hand down answers or tell you who to be — it is to offer a genuine, accepting, non-judgmental relationship where you feel safe enough to be fully honest with yourself. You set the direction and the pace; evidence-based tools are offered when they serve you, never imposed.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Do you replay your own mistakes for days?
- Do compliments feel uncomfortable or untrue?
- Do you apologize for things that aren't your fault?
- Does every achievement just raise the bar instead of satisfying you?
- Would you be devastated if someone spoke to your child the way you speak to yourself?
If you found yourself nodding along, that is not a diagnosis — it is information. You don't need the right words or a clear goal to begin. A safe, non-judgmental space is waiting for you to think out loud — and you decide what we explore, and how fast we go.
What you can expect.
