Therapy for Self-Worth and Identity Loss in Texas

You’ve spent your life being who others needed you to be.

Now you’re asking… but who am I, really? I help women who feel disconnected from themselves — emotionally, relationally, and spiritually — rebuild a sense of identity that isn’t rooted in performance, perfection, or survival.

What It Feels Like

You might be struggling with self-worth or identity loss if:

  • You feel like a chameleon in your relationships

  • You constantly second-guess your needs, wants, or instincts

  • You’ve outgrown the version of yourself everyone expects — but don’t know what’s next

  • You feel empty, disconnected, or emotionally numb

  • You often think, “I should be happier than this”

When your worth was tied to being “good,” helpful, or successful, it makes sense that feeling real now feels risky. Therapy can help you unlearn what you were taught and reconnect with the parts of you that were never allowed to exist.

How I Help

What therapy looks like for self-worth and identity work:

  • We explore the roles, rules, and masks that shaped your identity

  • We unpack who you had to be to stay safe — and whether she still serves you

  • We reconnect you to your voice, needs, emotions, and embodied sense of self

  • I help you build self-trust, not just self-esteem

Why Work With Me

This isn’t worksheet therapy.

I use a psychodynamic, relational approach grounded in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). That means we don’t just talk about your feelings — we slow down and actually feel them together, in real time.

I pay close attention to how you show up emotionally, relationally, and even in the therapy room itself. We work with the parts of you that have learned to shut down, smile through the pain, or over-function to stay safe. If you’ve had therapy before that felt too polite, too vague, or too shallow… you’re in the right place.

 FAQs

  • Yes. Therapy can help you understand where your self-worth got tied to external approval, and how to rebuild it from the inside — rooted in who you are, not what you do.

  • Identity loss often comes from childhood conditioning, trauma, codependent relationships, or high-pressure environments where authenticity wasn’t safe. Therapy helps you explore who you were before you had to perform.

  • Constant self-doubt, difficulty making decisions, fear of being “too much,” comparing yourself to others, or needing external validation to feel okay are all common signs.

  • Self-esteem is how you feel about your abilities. Self-worth is how you feel about your right to exist and belong. Therapy focuses on both — but especially on helping you believe you’re enough, even when you’re not “achieving.”
