Many First-Gen and Queer adults feel emotionally drained by anxiety and people-pleasing. As a culturally affirming therapist in California, I offer online therapy to help clients move from overwhelm to clarity and self-trust.

Therapy for People-Pleasing & Anxiety

Overwhelmed, uncertain, and constantly putting others first?

You are walking through life with a sense of pressure within your relationships and decisions. There are all these expectations of you, from your family, community, partner, friends, your job —that it feels like there is just not enough time for yourself. You have lost track of what you even want. Maybe you grew up learning not to take up space. Maybe being the “good one” or “responsible one” was expected of you. It felt ‘natural’ and ‘safer to blend in, to prioritize others, to avoid conflict — even if it meant bottling up your emotions.

But now, it is catching up to you — You start noticing an increase of sleepless nights, because of overthinking every decision. You try to take moments of rest, but your mind just feels flooded with feelings of guilt and self doubt. You question your life choices, relationships, and self-worth — and it feels exhausting.

That’s where online therapy for people-pleasing and anxiety can help. I support clients throughout California in recognizing these patterns and reconnecting with their own needs—with compassion, not shame.

People-Pleasing and Anxiety Therapy

Online Therapy in California — What Therapy Looks Like With Me

Therapy for people-pleasing helps Queer and First-Gen adults move from fear and overwhelm to confidence and self-expression. As a culturally affirming therapist in California, I support clients in embracing who they are—without guilt.

We’ll start by exploring how your past and present relationships have shaped your patterns. We’ll look into how fear, guilt, and culture has contributed to emotional, mental, and physical stress. We’ll find the right tools that fit your unique needs - we may use worksheets, journal prompts, or in-the-moment body-based practices depending on what resonates with you. We’ll always work at your pace and I will always meet you where you are at throughout your time in therapy with me.
