You’ve checked all the boxes, done all the right things, but there is a constant anxiety that constricts your chest and makes your mind race. It's hard to fall asleep, as you mentally go over all the things that need to get done, or didn’t get done, and it's hard not to feel like crap about yourself. Good enough is a constantly moving goal post you just can't reach. You try to catch up but there aren't enough hours in the day. Something's gotta give... and you don't want it to be your health or your most important relationships. You're beginning to wonder if there is another way. View 4 Photos Perfectionism has context.

I can help you navigate the layers of complexity that get in the way of feeling and being how you want to feel and be.
