telehealth for Perfectionism & Burnout in High-Achieving adults
Perfectionism often looks like success on the outside — but inside, it can feel exhausting, lonely, and never quite enough. You may:
Hold yourself to impossibly high standards
Feel like mistakes mean failure or disappointment
Push through exhaustion instead of resting
Tie your worth to productivity or achievement
Perfectionism is rarely about doing things “right.”
More often, it’s a survival strategy — a way to feel safe, valued, or in control.
Burnout can happen when you’ve been carrying too much responsibility for too long, especially if you learned early on to be the capable one, the good one, or the one who holds it all together.
In therapy, we explore the parts of you that strive, push, and criticize — not to get rid of them, but to understand what they’re protecting. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed approaches, we work toward:
Letting go of constant self-pressure
Developing self-compassion without losing motivation
Feeling worthy even when you’re not “performing”
I offer online therapy for perfectionism and burnout in Kansas for adults who are tired of living in survival mode and want a healthier relationship with themselves. You don’t have to earn rest or prove your worth. Therapy can help you find balance without losing who you are.
