Perfectionism & Self Pressure

Struggling with self-pressure, overthinking, and burnout? Therapy for perfectionism helps adults reclaim balance, confidence, and self-compassion.

Change and Identity Shifts

Perfectionism can feel like a superpower—but it often comes with stress, self-criticism, and emotional exhaustion. If you’re constantly chasing “enough,” worried about mistakes, or struggling to rest, you’re not alone. I help adults break free from perfectionism and self-pressure, building a life that feels fulfilling, balanced, and sustainable.

Signs You're Struggling

• Feeling like nothing you do is ever “good enough”

• Difficulty relaxing or accepting help

• Chronic self-criticism

• Burnout despite achievements

• Fear of failure or judgment

• Reducing self-criticism and anxiety

• Setting realistic expectations

• Building self-compassion

• Reclaiming joy and fulfillment

• Adults, professionals, and parents who feel pressure to always perform and want freedom from perfectionism

How Therapy Can Help

Who This Therapy is For

My Approach

Perfectionism is often rooted in early expectations, fear of failure, or learned beliefs about worth and success. My approach helps clients understand why these patterns developed—without shame—while learning how to release self-pressure in sustainable ways.

Therapy is not about lowering standards—it’s about helping you live with more balance, freedom, and self-trust.

Together, we work to:

• Identify the origins of perfectionism and control patterns

• Reduce self-criticism and all-or-nothing thinking

• Build self-compassion and emotional flexibility

• Create healthier relationships with productivity and rest
