therapy for people-pleasers & perfectionists

You know what it’s like to be needed.

It’s possible that you designed your life in just such a way…not consciously, per se…but there were definitely choices involved.

Let’s look at the facts: you are whip smart, determined, hard working, empathic…the list goes on. And yet, life is hard. And something seems to be missing. YOU.

No, not the you that shows up early and stays late at work. Not the you who so expertly puts everyone’s needs before your own.

You have a Ph.D in putting others’ needs before your own.

You go out of your way to make life comfortable for everyone else. That part of you is exhausted, and starting to feel a bit resentful.

You worry that you might be teetering on the edge of burnout. At the end of the day it’s so hard to do anything except flop onto the couch and yearn for your life to look like your latest romcom obsession.

You’re not showing up as the kind of person that you really want to be. You worry that you are putting too much effort into your job, and not enough effort into the rest of your life.

You’re getting in your own way of the life that you want.

You worry about really showing up in all areas of your life, and how others might respond. They might resent you. They may even abandon you.

You wonder if you will even like the person that you could become.

Won’t that make you selfish? Self-centered?

But the truth is, you deserve to put yourself as the highest priority, without worrying that you are letting everyone else down.

Living a life in which you trust yourself implicitly and you have clarity in your desires is in your reach.

If you want to begin that journey, I’d love to be at your side.
