Therapy for perfectionism &
people-pleasing

If your tendency toward self-criticism & perfectionism,
self-doubt & people-pleasing,
or constant negative or anxious thinking is
holding you back from enjoying your life...

I've been there. I understand. I can relate. And I'm glad we've found each other.


Does this sound familiar?...

*Holding yourself to exhausting standards*
*Feeling like you're never good enough despite your achievements*
*Hearing that constant negative inner critic voice*
*Resenting others when they don't live up to your expectations*
*Worrying about letting people down*
*Worrying what others will think of you if...*
*Replaying conversations in your head*
*Shoulds and Have-tos running your life*


Good news: It doesn't have to stay this way!
You can learn to let go of who you think you should be.

With years of personal and professional experience,
I help clients break free from self-criticism, self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing
--and start living with the freedom and happiness they long for!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about counseling and how it works? Here are some answers to the most common questions. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out!

What is your availability?

I am typically available for appointments:

Monday-Friday 8am-2:30pm

Monday-Friday evenings (Telehealth only)

Sunday 12:30pm-5pm

Yes!

If there is bad wiring in your house, you call an electrician.  If your car isn’t running right, you take it to a mechanic.  Don’t treat your house or your car better than you treat your own daily desire to be happy!

 

Life is too short.  And your quality of life is too important to not invest in it.

 

Great therapy is often a short-term investment that will pay huge dividends the rest of your life!

If you are not happy with how things are going in your daily life, finding a skilled therapist can be one of the best choices you ever make!

Clients develop their ability to be aware of how their thoughts and their behaviors are shaping how they feel.  They are able to identify negative or distorted thoughts and couple them with additional thoughts that may be more accurate and more helpful.  And they are able to reduce behaviors that leave them feeling sad or anxious, replacing them with behaviors that allow them to feel happy and hopeful.

 

At the end of therapy, clients feel happier, healthier, and more confident, allowing them to enjoy more meaning and fulfillment in their daily lives!

I do not accept insurance.  

I believe therapy should be guided by what’s best for you—not by insurance companies. When insurance is involved, they often dictate the number of sessions, the type of treatment, and even require a mental health diagnosis to justify care. This can limit your options and compromise privacy.

By not working with insurance, I can offer therapy that is truly personalized, confidential, and focused on your unique needs, without outside interference.

However, I am able to provide a Superbill which you may be able to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network claims, and I am happy to explain that process to you.

If you desire, this is an opportunity to help you determine if this would be a good fit for you.  I will be able to answer any questions you may have.  We will go over a few details, and I will ask you a few questions to get a sense of what you would like to address in therapy and how you would like things to be different in your life in the months ahead.


Great question.  This depends on the individual and their history, current stressors, needs, and goals for counseling.  Most clients begin seeing progress toward their goals in just a few sessions and complete therapy in 6-20 sessions.  Some clients choose to continue weekly or monthly sessions indefinitely because they continue to find it such a valuable support in their desire to live a meaningful, fulfilling life.
