Anxiety therapy for Women in New Jersey, exclusively online.

02/17/2026

Because the idea of coming back to 200 unread messages and a pile of work feels more stressful than just... not fully unplugging. 🫠

So you don’t. You stay tethered. You stay “on top of it.” And you call it being responsible.

So here you are on day two of your vacation, checking Slack “just to make sure nothing’s on fire,” responding to “quick” emails, and mentally running through your project list while sitting on the beach.

But when you can’t take time off without working, when rest feels more anxiety-inducing than just staying plugged in, when the thought of being unreachable for 48 hours makes your chest tight, that’s not responsibility. That’s your nervous system telling you it’s not safe to let go.

High-functioning anxiety convinces you that your value is tied to your availability. That if you’re not constantly managing, monitoring, and producing, something terrible will happen. That rest is something you have to earn and even then, it better be “productive rest.”

We normalize this. We joke about it. We say “same!” in the group chat when someone admits they worked through their vacation.

But normalizing it doesn’t make it healthy. It just makes it harder to recognize when you actually need support.

What I want you to know is that if you can’t disconnect without your anxiety spiking, that’s trauma talking.👇🏾

Somewhere along the way, you learned that letting your guard down wasn’t safe.
That you had to stay vigilant, stay perfect, stay indispensable—or else. And now, even when there’s no real threat, your body can’t tell the difference.

Therapy can help you understand where that comes from and give your nervous system permission to finally relax.

You deserve PTO that actually feels like time off. You deserve to rest without feeling guilty or worrying that everything is going to fall apart.
You deserve to exist without constantly proving your worth.

Ready to stop performing productivity and start actually healing? ❤️‍🩹

We apologize for being “stressed” like it’s a character flaw.
Like we’re inconveniencing people by showing even a sliver of what we’re actually carrying.

But here’s what that apology really means:

Behind “sorry, I’m just stressed” is someone who’s been the strong one for so long that admitting struggle feels like failure.

Someone who’s navigating impossible standards at work while being the go-to person at home.

Someone who’s dealing with microaggressions, code-switching, and emotional labor that nobody acknowledges, while still showing up like everything’s fine.

We’re not “just stressed.”
We’re exhausted from performing strength. From carrying generational weight. From being twice as good to get half as far. From never feeling like we can let our guard down.

And we’ve learned to minimize it. To apologize for it. To make ourselves smaller so other people feel comfortable.

But you don’t have to keep doing that here.

In this space, we don’t apologize for being human. We acknowledge what we’ve been carrying. We validate that high-functioning anxiety isn’t about being “too sensitive”, it’s about surviving in systems that were never built for us.

And we work together to heal the trauma underneath it all so you can finally stop just managing and start actually living.

You deserve support that sees the full picture. That understands the weight you carry isn’t just personal: it’s cultural, generational, and systemic. And that helps you process it all so you can finally put some of it down.

I’m currently accepting new clients in New Jersey for virtual therapy.
If you’re ready to stop apologizing for struggling and start healing, let’s talk.

Yes, you CAN handle it.
You always have. 🙃
But should you have to handle everything alone?

💫 FOLLOW for more real-talk about EMDR and healing anxiety and trauma for high-achieving Black women.

You’ve been the backbone, the problem-solver, the one who never complains.
You’ve survived things that would break others and still showed up with excellence.

But survival mode was never meant to be a lifestyle. 🤷🏽‍♀️

That constant buzz of anxiety? The inability to turn your brain off? The feeling like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop?

That’s not ambition—that’s your body living in a threat response it learned a long time ago.

And when you’re navigating spaces that weren’t designed for your well-being, you’ve had to armor up just to exist. But that armor gets heavy.

EMDR therapy helps you process the experiences your body won’t let you forget—so you can finally feel safe in your own skin.

I’m currently accepting new clients in New Jersey who are ready to put down what they were never meant to carry.

If you felt seen by this, you’re in the right place.

💫 FOLLOW for more relatable anxiety and trauma content from a Licensed Therapist!

High-functioning anxiety has a way of making you feel like the only way to stay safe is to be three steps ahead, hold it all together, and pretend the whole time that you’re totally relaxed.

But your nervous system has been waiting to hear this:
 🌟 You don’t actually have to have all the answers to feel okay.

Therapy (and especially EMDR) helps you understand why you cling to control, what your brain is trying to protect you from, and how to finally feel grounded without running yourself into the ground.

And the best part? Your therapist is not judging you for being “extra.” She’s helping you find some actual peace (the kind that doesn’t require micromanaging your entire life!)
 Follow me for more mentally-real, high-functioning-anxiety content made just for women like you. 💜
