When perfectionism shows up in body image, it can feel like you're constantly measuring yourself against an impossible standard- and always coming up short.
Anxious perfectionists often equate control with safety. But trying to control your body to feel better about yourself can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and shame.
You might know that your inner critic is harsh and unfair but changing the way you think about your body feels risky. We can help you loosen that grip, without losing your sense of self.
When your inner critic runs the show, it's hard to feel comfortable in your skin. We can help you untangle your self-worth from your appearance, and build a more peaceful, respectful relationship with your body.
You don't have to be hard on yourself to be motivated. We can help you challenge the perfectionistic voice that says you're never enough- and replace it with one that's kind, supportive, and realistic.
When you're no longer consumed by how you look, you create space to show up fully in your life. We can help you move from constant monitoring and comparison to feeling more grounded, connected, and free.
You don't have to love every inch of yourself to stop fighting your body. We can help you move toward acceptance, so you can focus on living your life instead of constantly monitoring how you look.
When body image isn't taking up so much of your energy, you can be more present, confident, and connected- in relationships, at work, and in the parts of life that bring you joy and purpose.
Body shame is rarely just about the body- it's about control, worth, and feeling "enough." We'll uncover the perfectionistic rules and fears underneath your self-criticism so you can start challenging them with compassion.
Using a blend of CBT and DBT, I'll help you reduce body-checking, comparison, and emotional spirals by giving you grounding strategies, thought-challenging tools, and skills to ride the wave of discomfort without acting on it.
Perfectionism tells you that how you look determines your value. We can help you build an identity rooted in your values, not your body- so you can feel confident without chasing an unattainable standard.
Body image healing isn't about loving every part of yourself all the time. It's about building a relationship with your body that includes kindness, flexibility, and trust, no matter how you feel.
