Therapy for Burnout, People-Pleasing, Perfectionism, and Codependency

I’m Dr. Erin McKnew, PsyD, a Clinical Psychologist in Danville, California with over 15 years of experience.

You’re the person everyone counts on, juggling life’s demands while keeping everyone afloat. You might look like you have it all together, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by self-doubt. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you’re stuck in patterns that leave you feeling unseen, exhausted, or disconnected. The strategies that once helped you cope, like staying busy, being dependable, doing things just right, or taking care of everyone, now leave you depleted.

If this sounds familiar, you may be caught in cycles of burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or high-functioning codependency. These patterns may have been effective or even essential, but now take a real toll on your sense of self, mood, body, and relationships.

I specialize in therapy for burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency in California and Hawaii. Together, we’ll cultivate a deeper understanding of how these patterns developed and address the wounds underneath them. We’ll shift how you relate to yourself, your needs, and boundaries, and work toward creating a life that feels sustainable. You can care deeply and work hard while still staying connected to yourself.

I often hear, “I want to work on me, but I don’t have time.” Ironically, getting support is exactly what helps you reclaim your time and energy. It’s one of the most meaningful investments you can make.
