Perfectionism & People-Pleasing

Therapy for clients who are tired of earning safety through over-functioning, approval, and constant self-monitoring.

Perfectionism and people-pleasing often begin as intelligent survival strategies. They can help you stay connected, avoid conflict, and feel in control, until they start shrinking your life.

Therapy can help you understand where those patterns came from and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others.

For deeper, faster work, ask about premium services: Therapy Intensives and Brainspotting sessions.

Therapy can help with:

  • Boundaries
  • Self-trust
  • Fear of disappointing others
  • Shame and self-criticism
  • Rest without guilt

Thoughtful, direct, and trauma-informed.

Roma integrates psychoeducation, somatic approaches, mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. Brainspotting is an EMDR-adjacent, brain-body modality offered as a premium service when clinically appropriate.

The work is collaborative and paced around your nervous system, your goals, and the realities of your life.

You do not have to know exactly where to begin.

A free 15-minute consultation is a simple first step.
