Perfectionism can be a double-edged sword, driving both success and self-sabotage. While striving for excellence can spur us to accomplish incredible things, it can also lead to overwhelming anxiety, burnout, and a struggle to accept our imperfections.
In therapy with me, you'll find a warm and understanding space to explore these challenges. Together, we'll unravel the grip perfectionism has on your life, seeing it not just as a virtue but as a coping mechanism rooted in deeper fears and insecurities. Through our work, you'll gain insights into these underlying issues and discover healthier ways to channel your ambition without compromising your well-being.
After therapy, many of my clients find a profound sense of relief and self-acceptance. They experience greater freedom to pursue their goals with authenticity, resilience, and a newfound appreciation for their own humanity.
ACT helps loosen perfectionism’s grip by shifting how you relate to self-criticism and pressure to get everything right. Instead of battling every anxious or “not enough” thought, we build flexibility and focus on what matters most. You’ll learn to take meaningful action without waiting to feel perfect, creating a more sustainable way to work, achieve, and live.
We build tools to quiet the inner critic, reduce all-or-nothing thinking, and move forward without waiting to feel perfectly prepared. You’ll practice realistic goal-setting, self-compassion, and flexible standards so you can stay productive without burning out. The focus is on sustainable progress, not constant pressure.
Letting go of constant pressure creates room for a life that feels more balanced and satisfying. You can still be driven and capable without running on self-criticism or burnout. Over time, success feels more sustainable, relationships feel less strained, and you’re able to enjoy what you’ve built instead of always pushing for more.
