Anxiety

Most people don’t think of people-pleasers, perfectionists, and goal-oriented people as managing anxiety. Maybe you don’t talk about the cycle of anxiety and accompanying overwhelm that is weighing you down because everyone says you are doing so well! My clients tend to struggle with people-pleasing and helping others before themselves. They are often caught in a cycle of perfectionism, achievement, and self-doubt.


Do you see yourself below?

  • Perfectionism

    Do you feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it never feels like enough? Perfectionism can feel like an endless climb—pushing yourself harder and harder, yet never reaching a place of true satisfaction. This relentless pursuit can be exhausting, leaving little room for rest or joy.

  • People- Pleasing

    Even the Helper needs help sometimes. Many people with high anxiety are natural caretakers, driven by a deep desire to support others. However, anxiety can often manifest as people-pleasing or codependency, leaving your own needs overlooked and unmet.

  • The Achiever

    You’re driven, goal-oriented, and thrive on pushing yourself to achieve. But do others see the toll this takes on you? High achievers often carry a heavy weight of anxiety, and the pressure to constantly perform can lead to burnout, stress, and even contribute to feelings of depression.

What would it be like to step out of the pressure and into a life where you feel fulfilled—not just by achievement, but by ease and self-acceptance?

Let’s work together to create a new way forward—one where you can care for yourself as much as you care for others.
