Perfectionism and self-esteem struggles can quietly shape how you move through the world. You may look put-together on the outside while battling inner pressure, self-criticism, or the fear of not being “enough.” Many people learn these patterns early - through family expectations, cultural messages, or environments where achievement equaled worth. Over time, this can lead to burnout, anxiety, people-pleasing, and a disconnect from who you truly are.

In therapy, we explore the roots of these beliefs and how they continue to shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today. Together, we will work to soften the inner critic, strengthen your sense of self, and build healthier ways of relating to your needs and limits. As you learn to trust your voice and soften the inner critic, you can step into a sense of self-worth that feels authentic rather than earned.
