I’m Larissa Smith, and I help anxious women just like you, who are eager to discard self-doubt and people-pleasing tendencies, usually learned in relationship with difficult people.

You can build a life that truly fits you. Let me teach you how.

I help clients like you develop connections that feel good and security within themselves. I equip you with the tools necessary for clarity, deep healing, and healthy attachments.

Often, many solutions for struggles like anxiety and perfectionism focus primarily on self-control (i.e. just try harder and you’ll do better), but when you struggle to implement things that seem reasonable, it can leave you convinced that you’re too deeply flawed to be capable of change.

It’s my firm belief that you are not the problem.

You’re just overwhelmed by old pains and patterns that leave you feeling stuck in a self-critical loop. This kind of change has to start at the root of your struggles, freeing you to take action on your own behalf.

Here’s the secret: The way best way forward is to go back.

First, we’ll evaluate what emotional pain you are carrying that needs to be healed and identify what you find lacking in what you learned. We’ll explore the experiences that shaped these feelings and work through a healing process to reprogram your instinctive reactions. Along the way, we’ll develop insights and skills wherever you feel lost. Through our work together, you’ll be empowered to prioritize what truly matters to you, free from the burdens that have held you back for too long.
