Perfectionism
Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and perfectionism often go hand in hand. Setting unrealistically high standards can lead to persistent worry, self-criticism, and stress that interfere with daily life and relationships. Therapy can help you build self-compassion, realistic goals, and practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and break the cycle of perfectionism.

Taylor Lee
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with perfectionism, especially those who feel driven by self-criticism, fear of mistakes, or pressure to meet high expectations. Many of my clients have spent years holding themselves to rigid standards or tying their worth to achievement. Together, we explore the roots of these patterns, soften harsh inner dialogue, and build a more compassionate, flexible way of relating to yourself.
