If you’re in midlife and find yourself struggling with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or recurring challenges in relationships, you’re not alone. Many of the individuals I work with are capable, thoughtful, and responsible — yet privately feel insecure, guarded, or emotionally disconnected, even with those they care about most. You might notice patterns like: Constantly second-guessing yourself or replaying conversations afterward Holding parts of yourself back in relationships, or over-accommodating to avoid conflict Wanting closeness but feeling anxious, exposed, or uneasy when it’s available Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, frustration, and a quiet grief about the kind of connection you wish were possible. Together, let's gently explore the blind spots that keep you stuck — without judgment or blame — so real change can happen. In our work, you can expect support in building a steadier sense of self-worth, recognizing relational patterns as they arise, and developing greater comfort expressing your needs and emotions. Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded in yourself and more secure in your relationships. My goal is to help you feel more at home in who you are — so connection feels less risky, self-criticism softens, and you can share yourself with others with greater confidence and ease. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s connect. Schedule a 15-min telephone consultation today.
