Finally be free from everyone else’s expectations.
The pressure to be fine, to succeed, & to take care of everyone has added up.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Therapy for anxiety and perfectionism helps you understand how stress patterns, internal pressure to “perform,” and worry loops show up in your body and daily choices. Together, we explore practical regulation skills alongside self-compassion practices so your nervous system and inner experience feel more balanced and anchored.
-
Not always. While striving for excellence can be affirming, perfectionism often includes self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, or needing external validation. Therapy can help distinguish healthy motivation from patterns that keep you stuck and exhausted.
-
Anxiety can look like persistent worry, difficulty slowing down, tension in the body, rumination, avoidance of uncertainty, or the sense that your “inner critic” is always in the background. Recognizing how anxiety shows up for you is an important part of the work we do together.
-
Yes. Many people discover that anxiety and perfectionism are linked (persistent worry fuels overly high standards, and harsh self-judgment increases stress in the nervous system). By approaching both together, therapy offers tools for emotional regulation, boundary clarity, and increased self-trust.
