Anxiety and perfectionism often go hand in hand, creating a cycle of overthinking, excessive worry, self criticism, procrastination, and never feeling "good enough." Whether you're struggling with generalized anxiety, high functioning anxiety, people pleasing, fear of failure, burnout, or constant pressure to get everything "just right," therapy can help you break free from these patterns.

Together, we'll explore the thoughts and beliefs fueling your anxiety, develop practical coping skills, and build greater confidence, flexibility, and self trust so you can spend less time overthinking and more time living the life you want.

Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or intrusive thoughts can feel exhausting, confusing, and isolating. You may find yourself caught in cycles of unwanted thoughts, mental rituals, reassurance seeking, checking, or trying to gain certainty.

If you struggle with anxious attachment, codependency, relationship anxiety, people pleasing, or fear of abandonment, you may find yourself constantly overthinking relationships, seeking reassurance, losing yourself in others, or feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. These patterns often develop through early life experiences but they don't have to define your future.
