Depression is more than feeling sad. It's a weight that makes everything harder — getting out of bed, connecting with people, believing things can get better. And the inner critic that feeds low self-worth? It can be relentless.
Depression and low self-esteem are deeply linked. The negative thoughts that fuel depression — "I'm not enough," "things will never change," "I don't deserve good things" — become self-fulfilling prophecies when left unchallenged.
In our work together, we'll use CBT to challenge the cognitive distortions that feed depression, DBT skills to manage overwhelming emotions, and compassion-focused approaches to rebuild your relationship with yourself. Not toxic positivity — real, grounded self-worth.
"The self-trust muscle — the one we forget to work out. And what to do about it."
You don't have to earn feeling better. You're allowed to want more for yourself — and to get it.
Where do these beliefs come from? We explore the experiences and patterns that planted the seeds of low self-worth.
Using CBT, we learn to identify, question, and reframe the thoughts that feed depression and low self-esteem.
Behavioral activation — small, intentional actions — helps break the withdrawal cycle that keeps depression going.
The goal isn't perfection. It's a stable, grounded relationship with yourself — one that doesn't depend on external validation.
