Quiet the inner critic and build a sense of worth that is no longer dependent on your performance.

Perfectionism & Self-Worth Therapy in Frisco, Texas

Perfectionism often looks like high standards, responsibility, and competence. Inside, it can feel like constant self-monitoring, pressure, and a persistent fear of getting it wrong. You may push yourself to meet expectations and stay composed, only to feel tense, dissatisfied, or quietly exhausted no matter how well you perform.

I offer perfectionism and self-worth therapy through limited in-person sessions in Frisco, Texas, along with secure virtual therapy for clients in Texas, Arizona, and Montana. This work helps loosen relentless self-pressure, strengthen internal safety, and build a steadier sense of worth that you can inhabit rather than earn.

Christian faith integration is available for clients who want it and is always client-led.

Who This Work Supports

Perfectionism and self-worth therapy may be a good fit if you or your daughter:

  • Feel driven by a persistent fear of mistakes or disappointment

  • Have a harsh, critical, or relentless inner voice

  • Struggle to feel satisfied or "finished" even after a success

  • Tie self-worth closely to your level of achievement or responsibility

  • Feel tense or on edge rather than relieved after doing well

  • Appear capable while feeling internally fragile or overwhelmed

Perfectionism often hides behind a mask of success. Many clients do not identify as perfectionists until they recognize the heavy weight of the pressure they carry inside.

Patterns That Keep the Pressure Going

Therapy focuses on understanding and interrupting the patterns that keep perfectionism and self-pressure in place, including:

  • Constant self-evaluation and the habit of comparison

  • Fear of failure or the perceived threat of letting others down

  • Over-responsibility and a drive toward people-pleasing

  • Difficulty resting or allowing yourself to feel "complete"

  • Experiencing worth as something to be earned rather than possessed

Perfectionism often develops as a way to stay safe and valued. Therapy helps you explore these roots with care rather than trying to eliminate your natural strengths or drive.

Lasting Nervous System Change

This work does not aim to remove your ambition; it helps create space between who you are and what you do. Over time, many clients experience:

  • A softer, more supportive, and less critical inner voice

  • Reduced anxiety around mistakes or moments of imperfection

  • A greater ability to rest and feel "finished" without guilt

  • Increased self-trust and emotional steadiness

  • A sense of worth that feels internal, stable, and secure

The goal is not to lower your standards, but to help you live without the burden of relentless self-surveillance.

How This Process Is Structured

Our work is thoughtful, relational, and paced for safety. This typically includes:

  • A free consultation to explore fit and your specific concerns

  • Individual sessions tailored to your history and high-pressure patterns

  • Trauma-informed, evidence-based care focused on internal safety

  • Attention to the nervous system and how pressure lives in the body

  • Optional faith integration when desired

Sessions are designed to help you feel supported rather than evaluated, creating a space where you don't have to perform.

A Specialized Approach for Easing Perfectionism and Discovering Your Worth

Choosing a private-pay model means your therapy is about your inherent value, not your productivity. This model allows us the depth to untangle your self-worth from the "never enough" cycle of perfectionism, changing the way your body carries the rigid weight of high expectations while ensuring your story stays deeply private.

Clients who choose this specialized therapy are looking for more than a strategy to "do more." They are seeking an intentional, consistent space to lower the internal pressure and discover a sense of self that isn't dependent on being perfect.

You are allowed to rest without earning it.

If perfectionism or self-pressure is running your life, support is available.
