Less insecurity. More confidence.
I help women struggling with insecurity rediscover who they are and what they want out of life.
​​​​
My clients struggle as you do. Even though they are extremely capable, very friendly, and look like they have their life together, they are struggling inside.
​
When they first come in, they feel alone, worthless, and afraid of change. They worry that their husband or best friends will not like them anymore if they stop living to make everyone else happy and focus more on themselves.
Many of them have been ignored or dismissed by other men. They’ve been told, “You’re just overthinking things” or “Don’t worry about it” (so helpful, right?).
As they go about their days, my clients also worry about if they’re doing things right. They ask themselves if they’ll ever feel good enough. It seems like no one really knows them, and, honestly, they can’t really remember the last time they felt like they really knew who they were.
Their need to keep other people in a good mood often keeps them from pursuing the life they want. They don’t feel satisfied in their relationship with their partner. They feel like they are letting their kids down. And their confidence at work is shot. For those who believe in a higher power, they worry God is ashamed of them.
​
Before they come to see me, they’re afraid to let go of always putting everyone else first. They worry their friends will leave them if they make a change. And they’re pretty certain that “self-care” is just a fantasy. Their insecurities and need to be perfect are driving them into the ground.
Like my clients, you deserve to grow in feeling secure in who you are. Having confidence in yourself and what you bring to the table is possible.
If you want to stop people-pleasing and start living a life you actually enjoy, reach out to me. I can help.
About Me
Hey there.
​
I’m Daniel. I’m a recovering people-pleaser who loves playing board games with friends and cross-stitching while listening to music. My wife and I are new parents to the cutest baby girl, and I love being her dad. I’m an outgoing introvert who learned early in life how to make myself small for the sake of others. Through my own therapy, I’ve grown in feeling comfortable living more authentically. I was surprised to find that my relationships with others actually got stronger as a result.
As a counselor, I work with women who have similarly come to believe they must make themselves small to make others comfortable. They’re trying to re-learn how to ask for what they want and worry less about what people think of them. Having gone on my own journey of self-discovery (which will be different from yours), I can attest to the value of leaning into the real you.
