In my work, I specialize in helping patients explore the deeper roots of perfectionism — including early relational experiences, attachment patterns, trauma, and internalized expectations — so they can begin building a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with themselves and others.
Through psychodynamic therapy, we work to understand not only the behaviors of perfectionism, but also the underlying fears, self-criticism, shame, and protective patterns that keep it in place. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, psychodynamic therapy helps uncover the emotional and relational dynamics that often drive the need to constantly achieve, perform, or “get it right.” By exploring the deeper experiences that shaped these patterns, therapy can create space for greater freedom, fulfillment, and self-worth that is not solely dependent on productivity or achievement.
