You've accomplished a lot to get where you are. From the outside, it looks like you have it all together: the career, the responsibilities, the people who depend on you. But inside, you're running on fumes.
You say yes when every part of you wants to say no. You over-prepare, over-explain, over-give - anything to avoid disappointing someone. Even your accomplishments don't feel like enough; there's always a quieter voice asking what if they find out I'm not as capable as they think?
Somewhere along the way, you stopped checking in with what you need. And now the cost is showing up: anxiety that hums in the background of everything, sleep that doesn't actually restore you, a short fuse with people you love, and a creeping resentment - at others for not noticing how much you carry, and at yourself for not knowing how to put any of it down.
You're capable of more than just surviving. You want to feel grounded, confident, and at peace - not just competent.
let’s be honest:
Despite all your accomplishments, something is still holding you back.
maybe YOU are…
Struggling to quiet your inner critic
You’re constantly second-guessing decisions, replaying conversations, hold yourself to standards you’d never demand of anyone else. It’s holding you back at work and in your personal goals. You’re also setting the bar so high that when things don’t go as planned or perfectly, self-criticism kicks in fast - and it's quietly bleeding into your relationships too.
Feeling burnt out from hustle culture
You've built your worth around output and achievement, so slowing down feels dangerous, even irresponsible. But the exhaustion isn't temporary anymore; it's become the baseline. Deadlines bring dread instead of drive, and rest feels like something you have to earn.
Having your past linger in the present
Old experiences, whether a single event or years of navigating spaces that weren't built for you, still shape how you move through the world today. They surface as anxiety, numbness, or emotional reactions that feel bigger than the moment calls for.
Carrying resentment you don't know what to do with
You give and give - at work, at home, in your relationships; and somewhere along the way it started to feel less like generosity and more like obligation. You're tired of being the strong one. Tired of being needed without being asked how you're doing.
Hi, I'm Angelica: an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and Licensed Mental health Counselor.
I work with high-achieving women, BIPOC professionals, and fellow therapists who've spent years being the reliable one - at the expense of their own wellbeing. Perfectionist. People-pleaser. Overthinker. Self-doubter. If any of that resonates,
You’re in the right place!
Many of my clients are navigating success in systems that were never built with them in mind - which means the pressure isn't just internal, it's structural too. I bring both clinical training and lived understanding of that dynamic into our work together.
Using EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives, we go beneath the coping strategies to address what's actually driving the anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt — so healing isn't just about managing symptoms, but about genuinely reconnecting with who you are underneath the performing.
Whether you're new to therapy or returning to go deeper, I'm here to walk alongside you.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Here's what I can help you work through:
Stress & Burnout
You're the one who holds it all together - until you can't. Perfectionism, self-doubt, and quiet resentment start taking their toll. It doesn't have to stay this way.
Racial Stress & Trauma
Racism and microaggressions don't just pass through you, they accumulate. If you're exhausted from carrying it alone, there's another way forward.
Complex & Relational Trauma
Wondering if what you went through "really counts" as trauma? Struggling to trust, even when you want to? Your story deserves to be heard and understood.
