Individual Therapy: Reclaiming Your Voice, Rebuilding Your Confidence

Therapy at Life Balance is a place where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your past, and work toward a future that feels more fulfilling.

Tired of feeling like you’re always the one giving in your relationships? Whether it’s with your partner, friends, or family- you’re allowed to take up space, have needs, and stop settling for one-sided connection.

You deserve relationships that feel safe, mutual, and real.

Healing Childhood Wounds

So much of how we show up in our adult lives—how we love, trust, set boundaries, or silence our needs—can be traced back to the messages we received as children. If you grew up feeling unseen, criticized, parentified, or emotionally neglected, those early wounds may still be shaping how you relate to yourself and others today.

So many of us move through life feeling like we’re not enough. Not good enough, not lovable enough, not important enough to take up space or have our needs met. Maybe you’ve been the one who always makes peace, puts others first, or swallows your feelings to avoid conflict. But over time, that comes at a cost—usually to your self-worth, your relationships, and your ability to feel truly seen.

You might be:

  • Struggling with self-esteem and confidence

  • Repeating painful patterns in relationships

  • Wrestling with “parenting wounds” from the past

  • Feeling stuck in generational trauma

  • Afraid to ask for what you need—or unsure what that even is

  • Always trying to be liked or keep the peace, but feeling exhausted and unseen

In therapy, we’ll change that. The “Spoiler Alert” is that all of the dots connect throughout the generations.

Inner child work is about gently reconnecting with the younger parts of you that had to stay quiet, be strong, or take care of everyone else. Together, we’ll create space to explore those early experiences with compassion—not blame—so you can begin to understand the roots of your pain and finally start to heal it.

Through this process, you’ll:

  • Begin to meet your emotional needs with kindness instead of criticism

  • Break free from cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and emotional reactivity

  • Develop healthier boundaries and more secure relationships

  • Rebuild your sense of self-worth from the inside out

This isn’t about staying stuck in the past—it’s about freeing yourself from the parts of it that still live in you.

How We’ll Work Together

  • Connect the past to the present. We’ll explore how your early relationships—especially with caregivers—shaped your sense of self, boundaries, and attachment.

  • Unpack generational patterns. Maybe you were raised to keep quiet, be strong, or put everyone else first. You’ll learn how to break cycles that no longer serve you.

  • Challenge the inner critic. We’ll work on shifting the negative self-talk that holds you back and start building a stronger, more compassionate inner voice.

  • Learn relationship skills. You’ll gain tools to express your needs, set boundaries, and communicate with clarity and confidence—without guilt.

  • Feel empowered to be yourself. The goal isn’t to become someone else—it’s to feel good in your own skin, to take up space in your life, and to trust that your needs matter, too.

You don’t have to keep people-pleasing to earn love. You don’t have to stay small to avoid conflict. You’re allowed to speak up, set boundaries, and ask for what you need.

You matter.

Your feelings matter.

And it’s okay to take up space in your own life

If you’re ready to start feeling more confident, connected, and in control of your story, I’m here to help.
