How I Treat Perfectionism

I provide a compassionate and empowering space where we'll work together to recognize the unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns that keep you trapped in the cycle of perfectionism. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based techniques, which are highly effective in helping you loosen this grip and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling way of living.

In our work together, we will:

  • Understand the Roots: Explore why this cycle of perfectionism continues and identify the patterns of thinking and feeling that keep you stuck.

  • Practice Acceptance & Awareness: Develop the ability to gently observe perfectionistic thoughts and urges without getting entangled or driven by them, fostering a more accepting stance towards imperfection.

  • Connect with Values: Discover what truly matters to you beyond external validation and achievement. We'll clarify your core values and learn to take meaningful actions aligned with them, even in the presence of perfectionistic urges.

  • Develop Flexible Strategies: Build practical skills to navigate self-judgment, manage overwhelming expectations, and find a healthier balance between striving and satisfaction.
