Helping ambitious and driven professionals heal relational trauma and build thriving lives on solid foundations.
Welcome
I'm Annie Wright.
I’m Annie Wright, LMFT and I specialize in something most therapists don’t understand: why driven, ambitious and driven professionals can build outwardly impressive lives that feel painful and exhausting to live within.
Maybe you’re a Silicon Valley star who dazzles your board but are having panic attacks on your off hours. Maybe you can save other people’s children in the ER but lie awake wondering if you’re failing your own. Maybe you can negotiate million-dollar deals but are constantly sabotaging your romantic relationships. Maybe you can manage your staff skillfully but get overwhelmingly triggered by a cold text from your mother.
If your personal relationships feel harder than your professional ones, if you’re reaching for wine by 5 PM more nights than you’d care to admit, if you wake up wondering “is this all there is?” after having achieved everything you set your sights on—you’re not broken and it’s not too late. But it is time to pay attention to these painful signals before they get worse.
Through 15,000+ clinical hours with ambitious and driven professionals combined with my own journey healing from relational trauma and dismantling of using work addiction to cope, I’ve learned this: when early experiences teach us that achieving feels safer than our relationships, when we learn early on that rest can mean danger if we slow down, when we find that working hard is the only thing that seems to get us love and validation we so crave, we brilliant survival strategies early on that eventually become invisible, painful prisons later on.
Through my work as a relational trauma recovery specialist—whether through therapy, coaching, my writing or my online programming—I can help you repair the cracks in your proverbial psychological foundation so that big, multi story house of life you’ve built on top of it stops feeling so shaky and starts feeling better to actually live within.
