Perfectionism
You like that you have high expectations of yourself. But life is getting more complicated and trying to be 100% right about every decision you make can feel crushing..
If you are a list maker, a fixer, a hard worker, a worrier, a planner, an overreactor, or an anticipate all problems in advance type – looking for some relief from overwhelm, I want to work with you. Together we can explore, observe, validate, and channel your energy into things that actually help stop those wheels that keep spinning in your head.
My clients feel stress like everyone else, but they also feel the burden of expectations. They will sacrifice their time and even their health to keep up the pace they think they need. They will ignore the sweaty palms and go without sleep to study, work, or not let anyone down. They are jumpy and they operate as though something bad could happen at any minute.
Your 20s can be difficult. There are professors and bosses to please, parents to keep happy, dating horror stories, roommate arguments, and more. You aren’t sure how you are supposed to do it all and keep everyone happy. And what about your own happiness? What about all your ideas and goals for yourself?
Anxiety can sometimes be difficult to manage. Worrying takes up a lot of time. Panic attacks are often a sign that your worry has gone unchecked for too long. With the right kind of attention, anxiety and panic don’t have to rule your life. Working with me can get your confidence up and your coping skills on target.

You have always wanted more for yourself. Comparison used to drive you but now it feeds your fears. You believe in your goals but the pressure is becoming too much.
Sure, you have done a lot of work to get where you are. But all the proof in the world doesn’t sink in as evidence that you are good enough and your success is real.
Trying to do it all is starting to do you in. Holding it all together is exhausting. Giving up is your worst fear but burnout seems to be around the corner.
You don’t want anyone to be upset with you. The thought of someone being disappointed in your choices or actions is unbearable.
The state of world is hard for you to ignore. After adding that t your daily tasks, you feel over-taxed and under-resourced. It is easy to slip into hopelessness.
