Annie Wright - Relational Trauma Specialist
For ambitious women whose lives look good but don't feel that good
Licensed trauma therapist
For ambitious women whose impressive lives don't feel as good as they look.
Welcome
I'm Annie Wright.
I’m Annie Wright, LMFT and I specialize in something most therapists don’t understand: why driven, ambitious women can build impressive lives that feel genuinely painful to live inside.
Maybe you’re the person everyone calls when they need something done right, but you’re staring at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering if you’ve already messed up your kids. Maybe you can manage a million-dollar budget but feel completely overwhelmed by dishes in the sink. Maybe you read emails five times before hitting send, analyzing every word for potential criticism.
If your marriage feels harder than your career, if you’re reaching for wine by 5 PM more nights than you’d care to admit, if you hear your mother’s critical voice coming out of your own mouth with your children—you’re not broken. You’re responding to patterns that made perfect sense once upon a time.
Through 15,000+ clinical hours with women just like you, and my own journey from using achievement to numb myself, prove my worth, and feel safe to feeling genuinely strong and stable from the inside out with a much healthier relationship to achieving, I’ve learned this: when early experiences teach us that achievement feels safer than closeness, rest, vulnerability, and play, it creates brilliant survival strategies that eventually become beautiful prisons.
More about Annie
Why Doesn't Your Success Feel as Good as It Looks?
Your LinkedIn profile tells one story. Your 3 AM ceiling-staring tells another.
If you’re constantly striving but never quite satisfied, or if managing your personal life feels harder than running your career, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. This isn’t about achieving more—it’s about understanding how early experiences still quietly shape your relationship with success, rest, and genuine satisfaction.
Take 5 minutes. Your results will help you see what’s really driving the patterns that feel so familiar yet exhausting.
