Online Therapy for Overwhelmed Teens & Adults in Washington
Tired of Being Everyone’s Yes?
Learn to say no without guilt, take charge, and respond to life on your terms.
Somewhere Along the Way, You Became the One Who Handles It
Probably because you are good at it. Possibly because nobody else raised a hand. Either way, you’ve been running on competence and caffeine for a long time, and it’s okay to admit that’s a lot.
Your nervous system learned to stay ready for everyone’s needs. Some of that still helps. Some of it never got the memo that it can stand down. Therapy is about getting curious about why you respond the way you do and deciding what to do with it now.
Who I Work With
-
For the ones holding the whole family together, including parents of kids with special needs.
-
For people-pleasers, fixers, and eldest daughters who are tired of being the responsible one.
-
For teens who can’t say no, carry too much, or feel like they have to be the “good kid.”
You are not “too sensitive,” and you are not failing.
Being the dependable one is usually a skill you learned early, because someone had to be. It worked. It just never came with an off switch. Therapy isn’t about turning you into someone who stops caring. It’s about learning to say no without guilt, take charge of your own time and energy, and respond to life on your terms.
Sound familiar?
You say yes before you’ve checked if you have anything left
You’re the one everyone calls (or texts), and you can’t remember the last time someone genuinely asked how you’re doing
Rest feels like something you have to earn, and you feel guilty when you take it
You apologize a lot, even when nothing is your fault
You know what everyone else needs but struggle to name what you want
You’re tired in a way a weekend doesn’t fix
Hi! I’m Kim.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor associate offering online therapy across Washington. Before this, I spent 20+ years as a classroom teacher and school counselor, which means chaos doesn’t faze me and nothing really surprises me. I’m also a homeschool mom and the parent of a son with a disability, so I know what it’s like to be the one holding everything together, usually while someone asks what’s for dinner.
My style is warm and practical, with a touch of humor. I’m EMDR-trained and working towards my certification. And I promise never to tell you to “just say no” and wish you luck. (If it were that easy, you’d have done it by now.)
