Online therapy for Anxiety, Codependency, & Self-Esteem.
Support for when you give everything
—and have nothing left for you.
You try to keep everyone happy—even if it means ignoring your own needs.
You shrink yourself to avoid conflict, overthink every interaction, and feel guilty for asking for anything.
You give and give, but still wonder: Is it ever enough?
These patterns didn’t come out of nowhere.
Maybe you learned that being easy, agreeable, or useful kept you safe.
But now, they’re costing you—your energy, your confidence, your sense of self.
If this sounds like you, I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Aïda (she/her) and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I specialize in supporting people who feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, anxiety, low self-esteem, and codependency.
So many of us find ourselves in relationships where we give more than we receive, hoping that it will get us the the acceptance we need to feel whole. While this tends help us manage in the short-term, over time, we can feel resentful, taken advantage of, and alone.
Although change can feel scary, you don’t have to keep abandoning yourself to stay connected to others.
When Insight Isn’t Enough
If you're a people-pleaser, and you use this word to describe yourself, chances are you already understand why you do it.
You’ve read the books. You’ve connected the dots.
You might even know where it comes from—your family dynamics, your trauma, your conditioning.
But understanding doesn’t always lead to change.
You might still shrink yourself to avoid conflict.
Still feel responsible for how others feel.
Still say yes when everything in your body is saying no.
That’s because you’ve been surviving by staying small, agreeable, or emotionally contained.
And you can't think your way out of something that lives in your nervous system.
What I Offer
Because of this, I don’t offer traditional talk therapy. Instead, I encourage you to slow down and practice showing up differently—starting in sessions.
This might mean:
Tuning in to your body’s response to unmet needs—such as tension, resentment, anxiety, or sadness—and learning to meet those needs with care.
Exploring the parts of you that feel responsible for pleasing others, and gently uncovering the fears or beliefs behind them.
Learning to recognize, make space for, and safely express your true feelings, without the shame that might usually accompany them.
Over time, this kind of work helps you build a felt sense of safety, even in moments of vulnerability. It fosters a deeper trust in your right to have needs and set boundaries.
So you can stop just understanding yourself—and start actually being yourself.
If you’re feeling the pull to make space for yourself in a new way—to stop shrinking, stop over-giving, and start showing up more fully—I’d be honoured to support you. Therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’ll go at your pace. And you don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to start.
Let’s begin with a free 30-minute consultation.
We’ll use the time to get to know each other, to explore what you’re looking for out of therapy, and make sure it’s the right fit before we proceed.
