Therapy for Perfectionism and Burnout

You may be used to holding yourself to high standards, pushing through stress, and feeling like you always need to do more.

On the outside, you are dependable, thoughtful, and look like you have it all together. But inside, it can feel like there is always more to prove and very little room to rest.

Maybe you are:

  • The friend who “has it all together”

  • The daughter or son whose parents “never had to worry about you”

  • The employee who is always“dependable and able to take on more and more tasks”

It might start to look like:

  • Feeling more tired than usual

  • Trouble slowing down or resting without guilt

  • Overthinking small mistakes

  • Feeling like you are falling behind, even when you are doing a lot

  • Losing motivation or feeling emotionally drained

  • Worrying that you are letting things slip

  • Feeling like your worth is tied to how much you accomplish

Asking for help can feel hard, especially when you are used to handling everything on your own.

I offer online therapy in California for people who feel exhausted by pressure, self-criticism, and the constant need to keep it all together.

How therapy can help

Therapy with me looks like:

  • IFS-informed work to better understand the parts of you that push, criticize, and seek approval.

  • Attachment-based therapy to explore how these patterns may have developed

  • CBT tools to challenge unhelpful beliefs and create more flexibility
