Feeling exhausted, stretched thin, and like you’ve lost yourself in motherhood?
You’re doing everything - caring for your kids, managing your household, keeping up at work. And you’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
You don’t need another tip or hack. You need space, clarity, and someone who really sees what you’re carrying.
Who I Help
This work is for mothers who:
Feel constantly “on” and can’t slow down without guilt.
Carry the invisible load at home and at work.
Wonder who they are beyond being “Mom”.
Feel anxious, irritable, or guilty despite “doing it all”.
Want to reconnect with their identity, energy, and sense of self.
Whether you’re trying to thrive at home, at work, or both, this is a space where you can pause, reflect, and reclaim yourself.
How We Work Together
Notice patterns and triggers that contribute to stress, overwhelm, or challenging parenting moments.
Explore your early experiences and how they influence your habits, reactions, and relationships.
Develop strategies and approaches to manage responsibilities, routines, and parenting demands more effectively.
Process feelings of guilt, perfectionism, or identity shifts in a safe, supportive space.
Build clarity and perspective to approach life and parenting with more ease and confidence.
Together we create a space to pause, reflect, and restore your energy, helping you feel more grounded and capable in both parenting and life.

I'm Kirsten – you can call me KJ – and as a family therapist, I work with moms who feel stretched thin by the mental load of parenting and with parents who want to create more connection and calm in their families.
Becoming a parent can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience. And, let's face it, parenting can also be stressful.
The constant demands on your time and attention can leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
As a family therapist, parent coach, and a parent myself, I want to help you manage the stress that can sap family closeness. If you are struggling with feeling exhausted from carrying the invisible load or with family communication, I would love to help your family connect in a warm and genuine way.
Let's work together to build the family life you want.
Why This Approach Works
This isn’t generic “mom therapy” or surface level coaching. It’s relational and real. It’s based on your lived experience, your ambitions, and the invisible pressures you carry.
You’ll leave sessions feeling seen, understood, and capable of choosing how to show up for yourself and your family.
PRACTICAL PARENTING SUPPORT FOR CALM, CONFIDENT FAMILIES
Raising kids can be overwhelming at times. In our sessions, you’ll learn straightforward strategies and tools to manage challenging behaviors, build routines, and improve communication.
You’ll leave with practical approaches that help you feel more confident in parenting moments, reduce conflict, and create a calmer, more connected home.
SUPPORT FOR MOMS FEELING STRETCHED THIN
Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure of yourself? Individual therapy sessions are a space to process emotions, explore patterns from your upbringing, and navigate identity shifts.
Together, we’ll explore what’s behind your reactions, try new approaches, and build a sense of calm and confidence while managing parenting and daily responsibilities.
“I'm so grateful for the support I received from KJ during my early years of motherhood. I worked with her when my daughter was in day care and pre-school. The parenting ‘tools’ I learned were and continue to be extremely valuable. My daughter is now 13 and we have a strong bond. I believe this bond is in large part due to the support, encouragement and practical tools that I received from KJ. If you are a parent in need of support, I highly recommend that you reach out!”
