Therapy to build

Self-Worth

in California and New York

You’re in a constant battle with yourself.

Do you find yourself constantly questioning if you're "good enough"? Maybe you downplay your accomplishments, compare yourself to others, or feel like you're always falling short—no matter how hard you try. You might be your own harshest critic, stuck in a loop of self-doubt and guilt, wondering why it's so hard to feel confident or at peace with who you are. Even when others reassure you, it doesn’t seem to stick.

Low self-worth can show up in subtle but powerful ways: accepting relationships that are unhealthy, avoiding challenges for fear of failure, or staying silent when your voice matters. Over time, it can chip away at your relationships, your goals, and your ability to fully show up in your life. But self-worth isn’t something you either have or don’t—it’s something you can nurture. Through therapy, we’ll work together to gently untangle the beliefs that keep you stuck and reconnect you with your strengths, values, and sense of self. You are worthy—just as you are—and our work together can cultivate a deep self-love.

Constant inner blame & shame

A harsh inner critic that doesn’t stop

Feeling unworthy of what you deserve

Linking your worth to external factors

Feeling like you’re never “enough”

Therapy provides a space to build self-love,

to identify and dismantle deep self-limiting thoughts, reorganize what you link worthiness to, and cultivate acceptance towards all parts of yourself. When you cultivate strong self-worth, you show up in life asking for what you deserve and not accepting less.

what we’ll work on

Addressing low self-worth in therapy

Therapy with me will help you shift the lens in which you see yourself. This work occurs on both the cognitive and embodied level, so that you’re addressing inner self-talk while also activating your self-soothing system to build acceptance, self-compassion and love on the energetic level (i.e., think about how it feels to receive a warm, loving hug— that’s the embodied feeling).

We will develop a plan that includes:
- identifying and dismantling your self-limiting beliefs on worthiness
- learning mindfulness and self-compassion techniques
- developing skills to get distance from your thoughts, so that they have less power when the inner critic shows up
- shifting behaviors to reflect a high self-worth

  • You don’t second guess yourself constantly.

  • You feeling worthy of all of the good things in life, including rest and play (which don’t need to be “earned”)

  • Mistakes and failing feel like opportunities to grow rather than overwhelming events

  • You accept all parts of yourself unconditionally.

  • Life feels guided by your values, not your emotions.

You are enough.

FAQ

  • Absolutely. Self-worth is the umbrella in which self-esteem and confidence fall under. The difference is that self-worth is not dependent on an evaluation of a skill or how you do; it’s inherent. Cultivating deeper self-worth and acceptance of yourself will extend out to confidence and self-esteem.

  • Therapy is the perfect starting point for addressing low self-worth, which likely impacts most if not all areas of your life, even if you don’t realize it. We begin with introspection and exploring, with compassion and curiosity while also going through the skills needed to reshape your inner worthiness. But therapy alone isn’t enough. The real magic in between sessions when you apply skills and practices to daily life. I have all the tools to help you succeed in this.

  • Self-worth is inherent because it isn’t something you earn—it’s something you’re born with. Just like a newborn doesn’t have to prove their value to deserve care and love, your worth isn’t dependent on achievements, approval, or perfection. Over time, life experiences, messages from others, and cultural pressures can distort your connection to that truth. But the foundation of your worth hasn’t disappeared—it’s just been buried. Therapy can help you reconnect with that deeper sense of value, not by adding something new, but by uncovering what’s always been there.
