Anxiety therapy for perfectionists & people pleasers in Ridgewood, NJ & online across NJ, NY & PA
embrace progress instead of perfection.
Always being the one who “has it together” is a lot to carry.
It’s like you can never RElax.
You’re tired of being the ‘responsible one’ all the time.
You’ve always taken pride in being capable, dependable, and hardworking. From the outside, your life looks fine — even successful. But internally, the pressure to keep it all together, do it right, and avoid disappointing anyone is quietly draining you.
Whenever you accomplish something, it feels good… but only for a moment. Almost immediately, your mind skips to the next task, the next goal, the next way you “should” be doing more. It’s exhausting.
You’re constantly putting yourself last. Your relationships are starting to suffer because you’re afraid to set boundaries, say no, or risk disappointing someone. Resentment builds — but so does guilt.
You hold yourself to impossibly high standards and fixate on the ways you’re falling short. No matter how much you do, it rarely feels like enough. And the harder you try to keep everyone happy, the more disconnected you feel from your own needs.
Does this sound like you?
Haunted by the “what if I fail and everyone sees” voice in your head?
Ready to stop overthinking every little thing and just choose already?
Done with procrastinating and maybe (just maybe) ready to roll with some change?
Wishing you didn’t feel so stuck in your own head all the time?

What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
If you’re ready to stop managing everything on your own, therapy can help.
You speak up without second-guessing yourself and set boundaries that actually stick and your relationships feel way less exhausting.
Everyday stuff (like work and errands) doesn’t feel so overwhelming, and you’re not constantly dreading your to-do list.
You feel more in tune with yourself—you actually get what you’re feeling instead of guessing.
Your past isn’t running the show anymore. It’s still there, but it’s not calling the shots 24/7.
