I help perfectionistic high-achievers feel more calm and more worthy

Are you chronically overwhelmed? Do you constantly worry about eating the "right" things? Does your mind move too quickly to keep up with? Do you put high expectations on yourself to achieve, then beat yourself up if you don't meet those expectations? Do you worry about what others think about you? Do you want to perform better in sport, school, art, or life in general? Whether it's big stress, big feelings, or big competitions, I can help. Most clients come to see me for anxiety, sport psychology, or eating disorders. Our work will help you feel more confident in yourself, more poised under pressure, and more capable. You will feel free from rules and perfectionism. You won't let your weight define you. You will know your worth isn't dependent on your achievements. You will finally eliminate that voice in your head telling you that you aren't enough. You are not broken, and you don't need therapy to "fix" you. We will use your strengths, and learn new skills, to help you build the life you want to live. If you're ready to get started, let's chat.
