Virtual Therapy for Educators in Seattle & Across Washington State
You spend your days supporting others. You deserve support, too.
Working in education can be meaningful, rewarding, and exhausting all at once. You’re supporting students, responding to competing needs, navigating school systems, and trying to do right by the people who depend on you. And sometimes, there’s very little room left for yourself.
Right now, you’re thinking…
I can’t stop thinking about work, even when I’m home.
There’s always something else I should be doing.
I feel responsible for things I can’t actually control.
I’m exhausted, but I don’t feel like I can slow down.
I care about my work, but I’m unsure how much longer I can keep doing things this way.
I spend all day taking care of other people and have nothing left for myself.
I hear you.
As a former school psychologist, I understand the unique demands of working in education. I know that caring about your students and colleagues doesn’t necessarily make the work sustainable, especially when expectations outweigh the time, resources, or support available.
This is a space where you don’t have to be the person who has everything handled. You can talk through difficult experiences, process the emotional weight of your work, and explore what you need without being expected to have all the answers.
Together, we’ll work on:
Understanding your stress. Recognize how work affects your thoughts, emotions, and body, and identify the signs that you’re reaching your limits.
Setting boundaries. Explore how to say no, communicate your needs, and decide what you can realistically take on at work and at home.
Working through burnout. Make sense of exhaustion, frustration, or disconnection and explore what might need to change.
Letting go of what isn’t yours to carry. Work through over-responsibility, guilt, and the pressure to meet everyone’s needs, even when things are outside of your control.
Making room for yourself. Reconnect with your own needs, relationships, interests, and identity beyond your role as an educator.

What could change for you?
Imagine yourself:
Leaving work at work more often instead of mentally revisiting the day all evening.
Saying no or setting a boundary without spending the rest of the day questioning yourself.
Recognizing when you’re approaching burnout and knowing what you need to do.
Feeling less responsible for fixing situations outside your control.
With more energy for your relationships, interests, and life outside of school.
Making decisions about your work and well-being based on what you need, not just what others expect.
Continuing to do meaningful work without continually putting yourself last.
