Are you Tired of Feeling like You're Never Enough?

You're caught in an exhausting cycle. The perfectionism that drives you forward also holds you back. Self-doubt whispers that you're not qualified, not ready, not worthy of the success you've earned. Every achievement feels hollow because deep down, you question if you deserve it.


This constant internal battle takes an emotional toll:


  • Racing thoughts that keep you awake replaying conversations and mistakes
  • Overwhelming guilt whenever you try to prioritize your own needs
  • Fear of judgment that stops you from speaking up or taking risks
  • Exhaustion from constantly trying to prove your worth to others

You don't have to stay trapped in these patterns. At Lola Therapy, I understand exactly what you're experiencing because I've walked this path myself. I offer a direct, compassionate approach that helps you break free from self-limiting beliefs and build the confidence you deserve.

Why Choose Lola Therapy

With 15 years of counseling experience and years of life wisdom, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to every session. I'm not just another therapist who nods and says, "mm-hmm." I offer real feedback, practical strategies, and honest perspective because that's what creates lasting change.


What makes my practice different is my direct, solution-focused approach. We'll work with real examples from your daily life, identify what's not working, and develop new strategies you can implement right away. I believe in your ability to transform limiting patterns and create a more fulfilling reality.

The Cost of staying Stuck vs. the Freedom of Healing

Continuing to struggle alone means missing opportunities for deeper connection, personal growth, and the confidence you deserve. You might keep questioning your worth, feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors, or staying trapped in patterns that drain your energy and joy.


But with the right support, you can break free from these cycles. My clients often describe feeling more empowered to make decisions that reflect their values, experiencing genuine happiness instead of just going through the motions, and finally believing they're worthy of good things. You have everything within you to create the life you want, sometimes you just need someone to help you remember that.


As your therapist, I walk alongside you through the difficult parts by helping you understand your patterns, process past pain, and develop new skills for the future. Together, we'll build your confidence and create the meaningful, peaceful life you deserve.
