Who are you when you’re not playing the role of perfect?

If you’re here, chances are you’re exhausted—from trying to hold everything together, from chasing perfection, from pretending you’re fine when everything is falling apart around you.

You look like you have it all together on the outside, but you can never show people the real you. You’re the one others rely on because you always say yes even when you want to say no. You try to be everything for everyone. No matter how much you give or accomplish, there is always an internal voice whispering you’re not good enough. You grew up thinking you had to be good, helpful, quiet, and perfect in order to be loved. Now those beliefs are getting in the way of relationships, self-esteem, and your ability to enjoy your life.

You want to be loved for who you are—not who you pretend to be.

People I work with feel like they’re living two lives. On the outside they present as capable, thoughtful, responsible. On the inside: anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from their true self.

• You feel like you’re constantly performing for others

• You struggle to rest, set boundaries, or speak up for your needs.

• You are consumed with guilt and shame when you say “no”

• You second-guess your instincts in relationships

Take off the mask and stop performing.

In our sessions, we will explore the roots of your perfectionism and people-pleasing. I will help you recognize and soften your inner critic so that you can reconnect with your body, emotions, and true self. We will practice setting and keeping boundaries without guilt. You will practice being your authentic self in real life, not just in theory.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about reclaiming who you are underneath the roles and expectations. It’s about understanding your feelings and breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns. It’s about cultivating self-compassion and confidence. It’s about learning to make choices based on your values not your fear or guilt.
