Do you often find yourself pushing down your own needs to keep others happy and comfortable? Do you regularly say "yes" when you want to say "no"? Are you always trying to please the people in your life—even at your own expense?

If so, you’re not alone. But you’re probably also feeling exhausted. Maybe even a little resentful. And ready to make a change.

Maybe that’s why you’re here.
You want to break free from your people-pleasing tendencies.
You want to understand why you prioritize others over yourself.
You want to figure out what you need in your relationships—and learn how to ask for it.
You might even be ready to start setting boundaries!
(Okay… maybe that still feels scary. Let’s say you want to feel more comfortable setting boundaries. That’s a good place to start.)

Where People-Pleasing Comes From

People-pleasing is often a coping strategy developed in response to early experiences of rejection, neglect, or emotional inconsistency. Over time, it can create a deep belief that your worth is tied to how happy or comfortable you can make others feel.

In therapy, we’ll work together to gently uncover the roles, behaviors, and beliefs you’ve adopted to earn approval, avoid conflict, or stay safe in your relationships. As we explore these patterns, you’ll start to see them more clearly and understand where they came from.

Healing Looks Like This

You’ll begin to:

• Identify your people-pleasing patterns and where they originated

• Reconnect with your own needs, feelings, and desires

• Develop healthier communication skills rooted in self-respect

• Challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck in self-abandonment

• Learn to set boundaries without guilt

Together, we’ll shift your focus from self-sacrifice to self-trust, from external approval to inner validation. You’ll build a stronger, more authentic sense of self—and begin showing up in your relationships with clarity, confidence, and agency.
