Do you hold yourself to a standard that always seems to be out of reach? Are you feeling preoccupied with trying to control outcomes by every means necessary? Let’s work together to restore balance and embrace imperfection. Striving for perfection is exhausting and often comes at a toll to our personal relationships and our self-worth. We’re sometimes driven by the fear of negative judgment and inadequacy and many times looking for acceptance from others. It’s possible to get back to a place where dissatisfaction and self-doubt are released.
I work with individuals to help them break through control and perfection to grow towards their authentic selves. As we explore the role that control & perfection play, we will dive into many of life's parts that contribute to these patterns of behavior. Some common session themes include trauma, anxiety, relationships & eating disorders.
