Perfectionism

Virtual therapy in Alberta, Canada

If it’s not perfect, it doesn’t count. Sound familiar?

Maybe no one else sees it, but you feel like a fraud just waiting to be exposed.

You double-check, over-prepare, and overthink everything, but still don’t feel like it’s enough.

Rest feels earned (if ever). Feedback feels like failure.

And even when you do accomplish something big, it’s never quite satisfying—there’s always something you could’ve done better.

In therapy, you’ll start separating your worth from your output.

You’ll learn how to recognize those old perfectionistic patterns and challenge them—without letting everything fall apart.

You’ll get better at embracing progress over perfection and treating yourself with the same grace you offer everyone else.

It won’t happen overnight, but bit by bit, you’ll start to feel freer, softer, and more rooted in who you are (not just what you do).

I know how deep perfectionism runs—and how much it costs.

I won’t ask you to lower your standards, but I will help you stop weaponizing them against yourself.

My approach blends evidence-based strategies with compassionate accountability.

We’ll look at where these patterns came from, what they’ve protected you from, and how to replace them with something healthier.

→ You beat yourself up over the smallest mistakes

→ You struggle to relax because something’s always unfinished

→ You’re constantly proving your worth through productivity or achievement

→ You avoid starting things unless you can be the best at them

→ You never feel like what you’ve done is “enough”

→ You want to be proud of yourself without needing it to be perfect
