ONLINE THERAPY FOR WOMEN WHO PUT THEMSELVES LAST IN CALIFORNIA
You Make Room for Everyone Else.
It’s Time to Make Room for You.
You’re thoughtful, caring, and deeply aware of what the people around you need.
But somewhere between showing up for everyone else and keeping life moving, you’ve gotten used to putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
Choosing yourself doesn’t mean you care about anyone else less.
Virtual therapy for women throughout California.
DOES THIS FEEL FAMILIAR?
You’re There for Everyone Else.
But You Keep Leaving Yourself Behind.
You may be so used to prioritizing others that making room for yourself feels unfamiliar—or even selfish.
You say yes when you want to say no.
Disappointing someone often feels harder than overextending yourself.
You feel guilty choosing yourself.
Making time for your needs can feel selfish, even when you’re exhausted.
You’re not always sure what you need.
You’ve spent so much time focusing outward that checking in with yourself feels unfamiliar.
You minimize what you’re feeling.
You tell yourself it’s “not that bad” and keep moving.
You wait until everything else is done.
Rest, joy, and time for yourself become things you’ll get to eventually.
You miss feeling connected to yourself.
You know how to show up for everyone else—but you’re not sure when you stopped showing up for you.
Your needs don’t have to become urgent before they’re allowed to matter.
UNDERSTANDING THE PATTERN
You Learned to
Leave Yourself for Last
Maybe you learned early that being caring, agreeable, helpful, or easy to need kept you connected to the people around you.
Maybe keeping others happy felt safer than expressing what you wanted.
But when you spend enough time adjusting yourself around everyone else, it can become difficult to know where they end and you begin.
Therapy can help you reconnect with your needs, your voice, and the parts of yourself you’ve learned to put aside.
You’re allowed to take up space in your own life.
WHEN PUTTING YOURSELF LAST ISN’T WORKING ANYMORE
What if your
needs mattered, too?
You’ve spent years making room for everyone else. Therapy can help you begin making room for yourself.
MAYBE RIGHT NOW…
You say yes when you mean no.
You feel guilty prioritizing yourself.
You ignore your needs until you’re depleted.
You minimize your feelings.
You make decisions around what others want.
You keep waiting for permission to choose yourself.
IMAGINE INSTEAD…
Saying no without overexplaining.
Making yourself a priority without guilt.
Noticing what you need before you’re depleted.
Trusting that your feelings matter.
Making choices that honor you, too.
Giving yourself permission to take up space.
Your life can hold love for others and love for yourself.
There is room for both.
HOW THERAPY CAN HELP
Therapy for the Woman
Who’s Ready to Choose Herself
We won’t just focus on finding more time for “self-care.”
We’ll explore what makes choosing yourself feel so difficult in the first place.
SELF-ABANDONMENT
Notice where you silence your needs to maintain connection or keep the peace.
GUILT
Understand why choosing yourself can feel wrong—even when you know you need to.
PEOPLE-PLEASING
Practice honoring what you want without automatically adjusting to everyone else.
BOUNDARIES
Learn to say no without believing you owe everyone an explanation.
SELF-TRUST
Reconnect with your feelings, needs, preferences, and inner voice.
INNER CHILD HEALING
Understand where you learned that other people’s needs should come before your own.
The goal isn’t to care less about others.
It’s to include yourself in the care you give so freely.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF THERAPY SPACE
You Get to
Matter Here, Too.
You spend enough of your life making space for everyone else.
Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to minimize your feelings, make yourself easier to understand, or worry about what someone else needs from you.
My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, attachment-focused, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices.
Together, we’ll make room for your needs, your voice, and the deeper patterns that taught you to put yourself aside.
You don’t have to earn the right to take up space here.
THERAPY THAT SEES THE WHOLE YOU
Experience Matters.
So Does Feeling Understood.
You deserve both clinical expertise and a space where you feel genuinely seen.
15+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Supporting women through anxiety, relationships, trauma, boundaries, and life transitions.
TRAUMA-INFORMED + ATTACHMENT-FOCUSED
Understanding the deeper patterns behind what you’re experiencing today.
EVIDENCE-BASED
Integrating established approaches with deeper relational work.
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE
Making room for culture, family, identity, and the expectations that shaped you.
WARM + RELATIONAL
Therapy that feels human—not cold, clinical, or one-size-fits-all.
My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered
to build a life that includes you, too.
QUESTIONS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it selfish to start putting myself first?
No. Prioritizing yourself doesn’t mean ignoring everyone else. It means recognizing that your needs deserve care and consideration, too.
Why do I feel guilty when I choose myself?
You may have learned that being caring meant putting others first. Therapy can help you understand that guilt without letting it make every decision for you.
What if I don’t know what I need anymore?
That’s okay. Therapy can help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin recognizing your feelings, needs, and preferences again.
How can therapy help with people-pleasing?
We can explore why disappointing others feels so uncomfortable and practice making choices that honor your needs, values, and limits.
Will setting boundaries hurt my relationships?
Healthy boundaries may change some relationship dynamics, but they can also create more honest and reciprocal connections. We’ll work on setting them with clarity and compassion.
What if I’m afraid people won’t like the new version of me?
Change can feel uncomfortable when others are used to you putting yourself last. Therapy can help you tolerate that discomfort without abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable.

you start choosing yourself, too?
