I help creative, high-achieving people live fully without worry and shame.

My clients face challenges much like yours. Despite being motivated, hardworking, and caring, life is hard.

When they first come to therapy, my clients are playing re-runs of past mistakes in their heads, feeling overwhelmed by guilt and shame. They define themselves and their capabilities by these (very human) fumbles.

Over-committed and feeling like they are always falling short, they look in the mirror and are never satisfied with who they see. It feels impossible to juggle all that life throws at them. They want to be a better friend, family member, and self. They are their own worst critics and can’t fully accept compliments. They feel like they are failing even when others point out their successes. And their confidence is tanking.

When they first come to therapy, my clients judge their lives, self-worth, and achievements by someone else’s standards. All the positive feedback, good grades, and compliments in the world aren’t enough to help them truly believe in themselves. They have panic attacks and restless nights trying to keep on top of everything. They are afraid they will never be good enough and worry that if they love and accept themselves for who they are, they’ll never reach the ideal.

They look at health practices like mindfulness, meditation, and rest and think, "Pffft, my body can't do that.”

They are kind, caring people who struggle to show that same kindness to themselves.

Living with perfectionism and anxiety is exhausting. Being vulnerable with yourself and others is a challenge. Feeling responsible for the emotions of everyone in your world is impossible and draining. Starting therapy might even seem like admitting a failure.

I get it. Deeply. And I know how to help you get past this stuck point.

Like my clients, you deserve to feel content and capable.

You deserve peace and calm.

You deserve to believe you are good enough, regardless.

If you want to ditch perfectionism and enjoy your life and yourself for who you are, I would love to help you get there.
