Online Therapy for Perfectionists and High Achievers in New York
You’ve done everything “right”: built a successful career, kept everything under control, and held yourself to impossibly high standards.
But deep down, you’re exhausted. Tired of overthinking. Always striving to be better, yet never feeling like enough or like you can relax.
I help perfectionists like you untangle these patterns and reconnect with who they are, beyond the pressure to achieve, please, or perform.
If you’re ready to feel grounded, clear, and at ease in your own life, fill out the form to request your free consultation.
Hi, I’m Angela (she/her).
I’m a clinical psychologist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with extensive experience treating anxiety and perfectionism. My practice centers on helping high-achieving professionals in their 20s and 30s who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, burnout, and disconnection.
I understand what it’s like to live by high standards. Constantly striving, yet rarely feeling satisfied. I also know what it takes to break those patterns with compassion and clarity. Therapy helped me step out of perfectionism and into self-trust. Now, I help others do the same.
Our work blends evidence-based tools with warmth and perspective so you can build a life that reflects your values, not just your achievements.
Why Work With Me?
-
Therapy is as much a science as it is an art. Research shows that the relationship between client and therapist best predicts treatment outcomes. I strongly believe that a big part of building a good relationship is developing trust. This involves working together at every step of the process to meet you where you’re at and tailor the treatment for your unique needs.
-
Therapy is a steady, compassionate space to be seen, and it is also a place to make change through consistent practice. Insight matters, and change sticks when you try it in real life. We turn talk into practice you can use between sessions. Small experiments, boundary work, and simple routines help skills become habits and your life feel more like you.
-
As a psychologist, I value the use of science and research to direct meaningful change. Every therapy approach I choose for my clients is supported by a large body of research. To ensure that you’re making progress in therapy and to determine next steps, I often collect data and check in with you as part of ongoing assessment.

Through our work together, I will help you better understand how your mind works and how it relates to your emotions and behaviors in different contexts and situations. In addition, we will also explore how your cultural context influences how you move through the world.
Therapy can help you feel visible, grounded, and genuinely connected to your life
This isn’t about quick fixes or “just coping.” It’s about creating lasting change: learning to set boundaries without guilt, to take up space, and to stop chasing external validation for inner peace.
Together, we’ll work on:
Untangling perfectionism from your identity
Letting go of people-pleasing as a survival strategy
Navigating expectations, values, and pressure to succeed
Building emotional flexibility to respond to stress without burning out
Making room for what you actually want in this season of life
You don’t have to carry all of this alone.
If you’re ready to unlearn perfectionism, speak up with confidence, and feel more at home in your skin, I’d love to help you get there.
