Anxiety Therapy for High-Achieving Women
Why does it feel like I’m doing everything ‘right’ but still not okay?
It’s a an exhausting loop familiar to so many high-achieving women. Your mind never stops - planning, predicting, overanalyzing. You’re balancing work, relationships, and expectations, trying to be "enough" in every area of your life. But instead of feeling accomplished, you feel drained - like you’re running on a hamster wheel that refuses to slow down.
You’ve built your identity around being capable, dependable, and composed - but inside, it feels like one small misstep could unravel everything. You hold yourself to impossible standards because lowing them feels like giving up. But the truth is, this level of pressure is unsustainable.
You might notice yourself:
Overthinking decisions, big and small, until you freeze and do nothing.
Avoiding difficult conversations because you’re worried about being disliked or “too much.”
Saying yes to things you don’t want to do, then feeling resentful or depleted.
Feeling guilty any time you rest, make a mistake, or fall short of your own expectations.
Struggling to relax, even when everything is technically “done.”
This constant internal pressure is a lot to carry. If it sounds like your experience, you’re not alone. It doesn’t have to be this way.
What Anxiety Therapy With Me Looks Like
In our sessions together, you’ll find a space to pause. I get it: you don’t have time for anything else on your to-do list, so therapy needs to be effective, not just another “should” in your life. Our sessions are an opportunity for you to get clarity on what’s really causing your anxiety and perfectionism, and how to break free from those patterns. You won’t hear me telling you to “just relax” or “let go” of everything you’re carrying. Instead, I’ll work with you to untangle the mental clutter, understand the roots of your stress, and reframe how you see yourself and your goals. Using anxiety therapy approaches like CBT therapy, ACT therapy, and somatic therapy, we’ll uncover how your thoughts, emotions, and body are all connected - and how you can work with them, not against them.
Our sessions will be focused on:
Slowing down enough to identify your triggers and build tools to handle uncertainty.
Using mindfulness and somatic techniques to process emotions and release pent-up tension.
Learning boundaries that protect your time and energy without guilt.
Replacing burnout patterns with habits that balance productivity and compassion.
We may also integrate EMDR therapy or trauma therapy if you’ve experienced situations that shaped your current anxiety or perfectionism. Whether you’re seeking short-term clarity or long term therapy for deeper healing, this work is designed around what you need - not a one-size-fits-all plan.
This isn’t just a space for venting; this is where we dig deep and work together to unravel the old patterns keeping you stuck and built self-trust so that you can make decisions based on what truly matters to you. And most importantly? You set the pace. It’s all about what you need in the moment.
What Your Life Can Look Like After Therapy
As you move through anxiety therapy, you may notice a shift: less overthinking, fewer moments of self-doubt, and more space for things that actually matter to you. It’s not about perfection (let’s face it, that’s never going to happen), but it’s about living with more ease. You may find yourself:
Making decisions with confidence and trusting your intuition, even when life gets chaotic.
Setting boundaries that stick without feeling bad about it, leading to more energy and less burnout.
Embracing a healthier relationship with achievement, where your worth isn’t tied to how much you accomplish in a day.
Feeling more present with yourself and others, without that nagging inner voice telling you you’re not doing enough.
Building a life where success isn’t measured by external validation, but by how aligned you feel with your own values and purpose.
Therapy for women who experience perfectionism and anxiety isn’t about removing every trace of stress; it’s about learning to meet it differently. You’ll walk away with tools from CBT therapy, ACT therapy, somatic therapy, and EMDR therapy that help you regulate your body, calm your mind, and create lasting change.
Imagine feeling good enough just as you are, and making choices that reflect who you truly want to be, not just who you think others expect you to be. That’s the kind of transformation we’ll work toward together.
P.S. You don’t have to have it all figured out to reach out. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers before we begin - it’s about discovering them together. And while I can’t promise you’ll stop overthinking tomorrow, I can promise that with consistent work, you’ll get to a place where you feel empowered, calm, and ready to embrace life’s ups and downs with confidence.
