Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Perfectionism can look like high standards and achievement on the outside, but internally it often feels like constant pressure, self-criticism, and fear of making mistakes. You may struggle to feel satisfied with your accomplishments or find that your self-worth rises and falls with performance. In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you challenge rigid thinking patterns, reduce harsh self-talk, and develop a more flexible, values-driven definition of success. Our work focuses on maintaining excellence without sacrificing your well-being, relationships, or sense of self.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I used to joke that I'm a "recovering perfectionist," but trying to recover from it might just be another way of holding ourselves to someone else's standard (of not being "uptight" or "too good" or something). I think the real key is to figure out what our internal compass really wants to point us to. If we were born to pay attention and excel, let's do that in a way that helps us and others thrive, with less shame and stress when we mess up. I'm an Enneagram 1 (I lead with a personality type that can be called "perfectionist" or "idealist"). Maybe you are an Enneagram 1, or a 2 (a people pleaser), or 3 (an achiever). Or maybe you weren't born this way, but your parents pressured you into perfectionism. However perfectionism intersects with your personality, let's find a way to honor its gifts while asking it to rest a bit so other parts of you can also shine.
