Break Free from the Inner Critic: Trauma-Informed Therapy for Self-Doubt, Perfectionism, & Low Self-Worth
Online therapy for women in NC, TX, SC & FL facing trauma, burnout, and never feeling “enough.”
The Voice in Your Head Isn’t the Whole Story
You’re the one who keeps it together.
Strong. Capable. Always on.
But under the surface, the pressure never stops.
You overthink everything.
You replay conversations.
You say “yes” when you’re screaming “no” inside.
No matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.
Because somewhere along the way, you learned that your worth had to be earned.
That voice in your head?
The one that says you’re too much, or not enough?
It’s loud—but it’s not the truth.
This isn’t weakness.
It’s survival.
And you don’t have to keep living this way.
You don’t have to prove your worth to deserve peace.
Your Inner Critic Is Loud, But It’s Not the Truth
You’ve spent so long questioning yourself that it feels normal now—overthinking every conversation, apologizing for things that aren’t your fault, pushing through when you're running on empty. That voice in your head? The one that says you’re not doing enough, you’re too much, you’re falling behind? You hear it all day, every day—and it’s exhausting.
This is what self-doubt really looks like in high-achieving, deeply feeling women:
You say “yes” to avoid disappointing others—even when it drains you
You panic after sending a message or speaking up
You feel guilt when you rest, but shame when you don’t
You’re emotionally burnt out but keep performing like everything’s fine
You’ve convinced yourself your worth is tied to how productive, perfect, or needed you are
But here’s the truth: this isn’t your personality—it’s your protection.
Self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism—they all started as survival strategies. Trauma doesn’t just live in the past. It echoes in your everyday life, in your nervous system, in how you treat yourself when no one’s watching.
This is not a character flaw. It’s a response to everything you’ve been through.
And you’re allowed to heal from it.
Trauma-informed therapy for self-doubt and low self-worth doesn’t ask you to hustle for healing. It creates space for you to finally feel safe enough to stop pretending—and start becoming who you were before the world told you to shrink.
You Were Taught to Survive—Not to Trust Yourself
You Were Taught to Survive—Not to Trust Yourself
Somewhere along the way, you got the message:
Your needs are too much.
Your feelings are inconvenient.
Your worth depends on how useful, quiet, or perfect you can be.
So you learned to stay small.
To be the strong one.
To anticipate everyone’s moods but ignore your own.
You got really good at surviving.
You kept the peace.
You earned your place.
You made yourself easy to love—by disappearing.
And now, you don’t trust your voice.
You question your decisions.
You carry guilt for having boundaries.
You overthink everything and still feel like not enough.
But here’s what no one told you:
That self-doubt you feel?
It’s not your truth.
It’s your trauma.
You were never meant to abandon yourself to be accepted.
You were just trying to feel safe.
And that makes so much sense.
But now?
You’re allowed to come back home to yourself—without apology.
You don’t trust your voice because no one ever taught you how.
You adapted to survive.
But now?
You get to come back to yourself—without guilt, without apology.
You were never meant to abandon yourself to be accepted.
What Healing Actually Looks Like (And What to Expect in Therapy)
Because you’ve already tried being strong all the time.
Starting therapy can feel heavy.
What if I can’t explain myself?
What if I cry the whole time?
What if I don’t even know what’s wrong with me?
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t have to explain everything perfectly.
You don’t even have to talk about the hardest stuff right away.
This isn’t another space where you have to perform.
It’s a space where you get to exhale.
To show up as you are, without apology.
To stop carrying everything alone.
What you can expect in therapy with me:
A calm, judgment-free space (online, flexible, and private)
A therapist who’s real, warm, and knows how to hold space without pushing
Permission to move at your own pace—slow, messy, or silent is welcome
Practical support for anxiety, boundaries, emotional exhaustion, and self-doubt
A process that honors your trauma, your nervous system, and your truth
You don’t have to prove anything here.
You’re not broken—you’re just done surviving.
Let’s start building the kind of healing that meets you where you are.
You don’t need permission to take up space.
But if you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it.
This Is the Part Where You Choose You
You’ve spent your whole life making space for everyone else—
their needs, their moods, their expectations.
But where does that leave you?
Quieting your voice.
Second-guessing every choice.
Faking “fine” while your chest tightens and your mind won’t shut off.
Here’s the truth:
You were never too much. You were never not enough.
You’re just tired of carrying it all alone.
And therapy?
It’s not about fixing you.
It’s about finally giving yourself the support you’ve given everyone else.
You’re not here by accident.
You’ve tried everything else.
Now it’s time to try you.
It’s your turn now.
Let’s Talk About the “What Ifs”
You’re not supposed to know how to do this—that’s what therapy is for.
If you’re feeling unsure, second-guessing, or overwhelmed by the idea of starting… you’re in good company.
Most of the women I work with began right here—with questions, self-doubt, and a quiet hope for something more.
-
That’s more common than you think.
If you overthink every word or freeze when it’s time to open up—you're not alone.
You don’t need to have the “right” words.
I’ll help you slow it down, get curious, and learn to trust your voice again. -
Yes. Many of my clients look successful on the outside, but feel like they’re silently unraveling on the inside.
This space is for the high-functioning woman carrying hidden self-doubt, perfectionism, and emotional exhaustion.
You don’t have to fall apart to get support. -
You don’t have to know how this works to start.
We’ll take it one session at a time, at your pace.
Therapy isn’t about being “ready”—it’s about being real.
And if you’re here, something in you is ready. -
Absolutely.
Online therapy is powerful for trauma-informed work, especially when you’re dealing with burnout, overthinking, or nervous system overwhelm.
Meeting from your own space can actually help your body feel safer, sooner. -
It’s honest.
It’s warm.
It’s built on trust—not pressure.
We’ll explore how self-doubt, perfectionism, and old trauma patterns show up in your daily life—and work gently to shift them, together.
No judgment. No rushing. Just space to come back to yourself.
Your healing doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to begin.
This Time, You Don’t Shrink—You Rise
You’ve held it together long enough.
Now it’s time to let something hold you.
No more waiting for the perfect moment.
No more performing strength.
This is your time.
This is your turn.
