Perfectionism

If you find yourself never quite satisfied with your achievements, constantly holding yourself and others to unrealistically high standards, or chasing ideals that don’t truly fit who you are, it can take a serious toll on your self-esteem, personal growth, and relationships. Perfectionism can feel like a heavy burden, leaving you constantly striving but never truly feeling “good enough.”

Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore where these perfectionist tendencies come from, how they’re impacting your life, and how you can begin to let go of the pressure to be perfect all the time. Together, we can work on shifting these patterns, so you can find peace in your own journey and build healthier, more realistic expectations for yourself and others.

If you also have a history of eating disorders and notice that perfectionism continues to influence your life, I’d encourage you to reach out. While I’m not equipped to work with clients who are dealing with life-threatening weight-related issues—those are best handled by a multi-disciplinary team—I do have experience supporting individuals whose perfectionism persists after eating disorder recovery, helping them navigate these ongoing challenges.

You don’t have to carry this weight alone. Let’s explore how you can build a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
