Your life looks good on paper
You're the one people call when something goes wrong. You can read a room before you've taken your coat off. You keep things running so smoothly that no one notices how much you're holding.
But you're tired in a way no long weekend or vacation can touch. Your needs keep sliding to the bottom of your own list, and saying no feels like letting someone down. Nothing is falling apart. You still show up, and you do it well. You've just been running on fumes for so long that exhaustion started to feel normal.
Maybe you learned early that love had to be earned, or that keeping the peace was the safest way to belong, even when it meant turning your back on yourself. That survival instinct protected you. It carried you a long way. But now it's costing you more than it gives, and you're ready to find your way back to yourself.
Hi, I'm Lily
(SHE/HER)
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, and I see clients virtually throughout Washington State. The women I work with might look like they have it all together, but inside they're carrying anxiety, trauma, or grief, tucked neatly away while they keep overfunctioning so no one notices. If that sounds like you, together we can make sense of what you've been holding and move toward the life you want to live.
There's no right way to heal, and your journey won't look like anyone else's. Wherever it leads, and at whatever pace, I'll meet you with warmth and curiosity, and I'm not afraid to point out the patterns you might be too close to see. You don't have to do this alone, and you don't have to filter yourself here.
OUR WORK TOGETHER
Come as you are
The women I see aren't in crisis. They're tired, a little lost, and ready to understand why. Our work often touches:
- Anxiety that looks like ambition, control, or always being "on"
- People-pleasing and the guilt that shows up when you finally say no
- A childhood where you were fed and sheltered, but your feelings went unseen, or you had to grow up too fast
- Grief for the childhood you deserved, or the self you set aside to survive
- The question underneath it all: Who am I when I'm not taking care of everyone else, or trying to be the woman I was told I was supposed to be?
WHAT CAN CHANGE
Room to breathe
It usually starts small. A friend asks for one more favor, and you say no without rehearsing an apology. You make a mistake at work, and instead of replaying it all night, you talk to yourself the way you'd talk to someone you love.
Over time, your body might stop bracing for the next thing, and you can let yourself rest without "earning" it first. The life you've built might start to feel like one you can sustain, because there's finally space in it for your needs too.
START SMALL
Ready when you are
Reaching out for help can be hardest for the person everyone else leans on, so let's make the first step an easy one. We'll start with a free 15-minute call where you can tell me a little about what's going on and ask whatever questions you have. From there, we'll get a sense of whether we're a good fit and how to move forward.
Virtual sessions Monday through Thursday, 9am to 3pm Pacific.
