Perfectionism can come in many forms. It can look like procrastination. It can disguise itself as anxiety. It can be a mean and strong inner critic. It can also look like difficulty making decisions due to fear of making the "wrong" choice. It can also be a trauma response. This happens to those who grew up in families where being perfect meant being safe. It was a way to avoid getting in trouble.

Perfectionism can feel like a constant pressure to do more, be more, and never make mistakes which can lead to a sense of never feeling “good enough.” Do you struggle with fear of failure, feel inadequate, or create impossibly high standards for yourself?

Perfectionism can impact relationships, work, and overall well-being, leaving you stuck in an exhausting cycle of high expectations and harsh inner judgment.

I can teach you the skills and tools to develop better self-compassion and self-acceptance. To manage stress related to unrealistic standards without sacrificing productivity. I can help you regain control of your life in healthy ways. This will allow you to feel more authentic and more connected to people who matter in your life. In therapy, we explore the roots of perfectionism with compassion and curiosity. We work together to shift rigid standards, quiet the inner critic, and build a more balanced and kind relationship with yourself.

You can learn to pursue goals in a way that feels sustainable and fulfilling—without sacrificing your peace.
