I specialize in helping women and teens heal from people-pleasing behaviors, codependency, eating disorders and trauma.
You never learned how to set healthy boundaries, which has led to people-pleasing behavior, low self-esteem and difficulty having your needs met in relationships. Maybe you've coped with painful feelings with food, drugs or bad relationships. You deserve to be valued for who you are and not what you do for others.
