About

Anxious perfectionism shows up as perpetual shame, guilt, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep welll. Maybe you're a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid, or the child of immigrants, or the sibling who had to keep it together. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better, and they can’t be happy until they get there. I get it because I've been there. I've walked hundreds of anxious perfectionists through the tools, strategies, and healing it takes to tame their anxiety, stand up to their inner critic, and balance work with genuine rest. I use art therapy and a blend of other techniques to restore your vibrancy and create a sustainable, loving relationship with yourself.
