Do you find yourself chasing goal after goal, yet fulfillment always feels just out of reach? Maybe you’re caught in cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-criticism that keep pushing you to overwork, overthink, and overachieve—while still feeling disconnected from what truly matters. The drive for excellence and the fear of “not enough” may have become all-consuming, leaving little room for joy or self-compassion.
In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of these patterns, helping you reconnect with what’s meaningful to you beyond the endless chase for achievement. You’ll learn to respond to that inner critic with compassion, gaining freedom from the pressures that drive you and discovering new ways to live in line with your deeper values.
Therapy can help you finally break the cycle of perfectionism and self-criticism and take steps toward a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. If you’re ready to explore this path, let’s start the journey together.
