Therapy for Perfectionism & People-Pleasing in Marietta, GA
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Struggling with feeling overcommitted, people-pleasing, and struggling with saying no?
I work with moms who are exhausted from people-pleasing and perfectionism, trying to meet every expectation while losing touch with their own needs. Therapy can help you untangle the pressure, stop overextending yourself, and start showing up as a mom who feels grounded, confident, and authentic.
The pressure of motherhood, pleasing everyone, and never feeling like enough..
Perfectionism and people-pleasing can make motherhood feel heavier than anyone warned you about. You want to do everything “right,” make everyone happy, and avoid conflict at all costs, but it leaves you exhausted, second-guessing yourself, and constantly on edge. Small mistakes can feel like failures, and even accomplishments often come with a side of guilt or worry that it’s never enough.
You might notice that your own needs are always last, that decisions feel paralyzing, or that you’re carrying the invisible pressure of everyone else’s expectations while trying to manage your own. You may spend hours worrying about how your choices affect others, apologizing for things that aren’t your fault, or trying to anticipate every reaction so no one is disappointed. Over time, this pattern can leave you disconnected from yourself, frustrated, and wondering if you’ll ever be able to relax or just be enough.
Perfectionism and people-pleasing don’t mean you’re failing—they’re signals that the pressure and expectations you’ve taken on are unsustainable. Therapy can help you identify the patterns, set healthier boundaries, and reclaim a sense of calm, confidence, and authenticity. You can start to release the weight of constant self-judgment, stop living for others’ approval, and finally feel like yourself again while still being the mom you want to be.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
Motherhood comes with enough pressure—trying to be perfect and keep everyone happy shouldn’t leave you feeling exhausted, guilty, or like you’re never enough. You’re giving so much of yourself, but somewhere along the way, your needs and your sense of self get buried.
Therapy with me is a space to unpack the expectations, let go of constant self-judgment, and start showing up as the mom—and person—you actually want to be. Together, we’ll explore the patterns behind perfectionism and people-pleasing, find practical strategies to lighten your mental load, and help you reconnect with your energy, confidence, and sense of self.
Why me? Because I help moms stop living for others’ approval while still caring deeply for their families. I’ll help you:
Spot the patterns that fuel guilt, overthinking, and self-criticism
Set boundaries that protect your energy without shame
Reclaim your confidence and authenticity in motherhood
I’m not here to hand you quick hacks or surface-level advice. I’ll sit with you in the stress, help you make sense of the perfectionism cycle, and give you tools that actually work in your day-to-day life.
