You Take Care of Everyone Else—
But Who's Taking Care of You?
You say yes when you mean no.
You power through when you're exhausted.
You tell yourself you'll rest “later”—but later never comes.
​
If you’ve spent years putting your needs last, you’re not alone. Many women are raised to believe their worth is tied to how much they give. But constantly abandoning yourself to care for others isn’t sustainable—and it’s not your fault.
​
This isn’t just burnout.
It’s self-abandonment.

And You Deserve More Than Just Getting By
You might feel like you've lost your voice—or never fully found it.
You may carry guilt for needing space or softness.
You may not trust yourself to make the “right” decision.
But that can change.
​
With the right support, you can rewrite those patterns. You can learn to say no without shame, take up space without guilt, and reconnect with the most important relationship you have: the one with yourself.

Healing Begins With You—But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
I’m Kara Cruz, LMFT and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I help women and therapists gently untangle from patterns of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and perfectionism so they can come home to themselves.
​
Through online therapy and wellness groups, I offer a space where you can be seen, supported, and reminded of your own strength—without judgment or pressure to “fix” yourself.
​
Together, we’ll work on:
-
Rebuilding self-trust
-
Setting boundaries with compassion
-
Making decisions from your inner knowing
-
Honoring your needs—without guilt
-
Creating a life rooted in authenticity, not approval
