When doing your best never feels like enough

Anxiety and perfectionism can make it hard to switch off. You may replay conversations, second-guess decisions, or feel responsible for getting everything right. When you're also carrying the demands of motherhood, there may be little space left for yourself.

Therapy offers a place to talk about what you're experiencing, explore the expectations you place on yourself, and work toward ways of responding that fit your life.

Online therapy in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois.

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • Worrying about what might go wrong, even when things seem okay

  • Feeling guilty when you rest or put your own needs first

  • Replaying decisions and wondering whether you've done enough

  • Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts

  • Holding yourself to standards that leave little room for mistakes

  • Managing everyone else's needs while feeling stretched thin

You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Space to understand what's weighing on you

I'm Sarah Williams, a licensed clinical social worker. My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. Together, we can explore the worries, patterns, and expectations that are making daily life harder.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based approaches, and psychodynamic therapy. Our work can include noticing self-critical patterns, responding differently to anxious or intrusive thoughts, and making room for your needs.

Taking the first step
