When the weight of expectations feels crushing, it can start to feel like you’re losing yourself in the pressure to keep up and do it all perfectly.

You might be caught in a constant cycle of anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt, holding yourself to impossible standards while feeling like nothing you do is ever enough. 

The inner critic can sound convincing, pushing you to overachieve and leaving you exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from joy.

In therapy, you’ll learn how to quiet the harsh inner critic, reduce anxiety, and understand the deeper roots of perfectionism. Together, we’ll build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and strengthen your ability to feel grounded, confident, and at peace. Many clients who begin therapy for perfectionism and anxiety find themselves feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to who they truly are, able to live with balance, self-trust, and a sense of ease that endures well beyond the therapy room.

By combining a depth psychodynamic approach with practical, actionable tools, we focus on both insight and change. Understanding the root cause of these patterns: why the inner critic developed, what it’s protecting, and how it shapes your sense of self, creates space for genuine healing. From there, we integrate simple  strategies to help you practice new ways of responding to stress, perfectionism, and self-doubt in everyday life. This balance of deep exploration and practical application leads to lasting transformation, not just temporary relief.
