Our society does a very thorough job of telling us what we should look like, and how our looks mean something in particular about us as people--when that's not how personalities work.
Let's work together to untangle your sense of self and sense of worth from how you look, and make peace with what you see in the mirror.
I help high achievers and perfectionists with body image concerns by addressing the unrealistic standards they may impose on their appearance. Together, we explore how perfectionism fuels negative self-perception and dissatisfaction with their body. I teach clients how to challenge distorted thoughts and replace them with more compassionate, realistic views of themselves. By promoting self-acceptance and focusing on overall well-being rather than appearance, I help them develop a healthier relationship with their body. My goal is to support clients in finding balance between their drive for success and cultivating a positive, nurturing self-image.
