When it never feels like you've done enough
Therapy for Anxiety & Perfectionism in California
Life looks “good” from the outside, but inside it feels anything but.
You’re thoughtful, capable, and outwardly successful. Inside, you feel anxious, burned out, or stuck.
Your mind won’t stop. You replay conversations. You overthink decisions. Success doesn’t bring relief — it just raises the bar.
You live with a quiet but constant pressure to not get it wrong.
You’re tired of feeling like nothing you do is ever quite enough.
You don’t need to keep pushing through. You need support that actually understands what you’re carrying.
It’s the pressure to get it right.
You overthink decisions because making a mistake feels unbearable. You research, re-research, run every scenario — and still don’t feel confident. The fear of getting it wrong keeps you stuck.
If you catch your mistakes first, maybe they won’t hurt as much. If you hold yourself to impossible standards, maybe you’ll stay ahead of judgment. Self-criticism feels like control. It’s actually what keeps the anxiety running.
You take on more than your share because if you can just manage everything, nothing will fall apart. You monitor. You anticipate. You carry the emotional load. It looks like responsibility. It’s anxiety in a productive disguise.
You’ve tried working harder. Being more disciplined. Optimizing your routines. Reading the books.
But this isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a system that learned to organize around pressure.
For a while, this approach probably helped you survive.
But surviving isn’t the same as living.
You’ve always handled things by trying harder. Working more. Thinking it through. Planning better. Anticipating every possible mistake.
That approach probably got you far.
But now it’s feeding the anxiety.
The pressure to get it right is what’s keeping you stuck. You’ve been pushing against something that pushing can’t fix.
When anxiety is driven by the fear of making the wrong move, effort alone won’t resolve it.
This isn’t about discipline. It’s about pressure.
You don’t need to try harder. You need a different way of relating to the pressure itself.
Therapy can help you loosen that grip and make decisions with more steadiness and less self-doubt.
How Internal Pressure Fuels Anxiety
When what used to help stops working
I work with women whose anxiety is driven by internal pressure — perfectionism, financial stress, and relationship self-doubt.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business. I understand the career expectations, financial decision-making, and constant mental strategizing that can keep you spinning.
My training as a therapist helps us work at the level where those patterns formed.
Sometimes that means talking through the standards you hold yourself to.
Sometimes it means using Brainspotting when your nervous system needs to process what thinking alone can’t reach.
Both matter.
I’m direct. I’m warm. And I won’t waste your time.
