YOU ARE ALREADY ENOUGH.
Overcome Imposter Syndrome and embrace your true potential.
You find yourself battling a constant voice that tells you you're not good enough. Despite your achievements and hard work, you often attribute your successes to luck or help from others, fearing that one day, someone will discover you're just pretending. It's like you're wearing a mask; you seem confident and capable on the outside, but inside, you're constantly questioning whether you truly belong. This weight of self-doubt is exhausting, and it makes you hesitant to take on new challenges or seek recognition, as you worry that any moment of vulnerability will expose you as the fraud you think you are. This inner turmoil can create anxiety and prevent you from fully enjoying your achievements or pursuing new opportunities. You feel trapped between your ambitions and your overwhelming fears of inadequacy.
What is Imposter Syndrome?
Imposter Syndrome describes individuals who, despite their achievements and success, experience persistent self-doubt and beliefs that they are fraudulent or “imposters”. They may have a hard time attributing their success to their own competence and abilities. Individuals who experience imposter syndrome may believe that it’s just luck or circumstance that has led to their success. They often overcompensate for these fears by putting extreme efforts into hiding their perceived flaws.
Individuals who experience imposter syndrome often experience unrealistic fears of being “found out” or exposed for their inadequacies and believe that their abilities are over-estimated by others. If you've experienced Imposter Syndrome, you may spend significant amounts of time and energy trying to convince yourself (and others!) that they you good enough. You may often question your professional legitimacy and talk yourself out of opportunities for advancement in the workplace. Over time, this can lead to impaired job performance, low job satisfaction, and higher rates of burnout.

How Therapy for Imposter Syndrome Can Help
Imposter Syndrome creates a narrative that fuels insecurity and self-doubt and puts you in an impossible position where you are afraid of both failure and success. You don’t trust yourself to be recognized or seen for who you truly are and spend way too much energy investing in the creation of a version of you that just isn’t accurate. Therapy for Imposter Syndrome can help you begin to challenge distorted beliefs and expectations that get in the way of your ability to thrive. There is incredible power in beginning to understand your story from a place of compassion and strength. I want to help you rewrite old narratives about who you are so that you feel empowered to move forward.
