I help women who do it all but feel like it’s never enough.
Supporting high-achieving women to reclaim their energy, confidence, and control.
Do you find yourself counting the hours until you can finally stop and take a break?
I work with women who keep it all going.
Exhausted from work and home.
Under constant pressure to get it all done, with patience and a smile.
Late at night, you’re finishing up the last items on your list and wondering if you’ll ever get a moment to yourself again.
Sound like you?
Women still handle most of the planning, remembering, and juggling.
And the invisible mental load doesn’t ever stop. Keeping track of everyone else’s schedules, remembering to buy toilet paper, and managing dozens of other small tasks that never seem to end.
This is where I come in.
I help you notice the patterns that keep you worn out, understand why you take on so much to begin with, and figure out how to escape the constant grind.

MY APPROACH TO PARENTING THERAPY
I prioritize your well-being & relationship with your child with the aim of helping you raise well-adjusted, emotionally competent children.
When we face parenting challenges it's often because there are gaps in our own childhoods around the same issues. Finding new ways to manage these challenges can feel daunting when we have no past references to use as a roadmap.
I want to help your family reduce its stress level by providing you with strategies and by helping you develop healthy communication patterns.
As a family therapist, I view each individual as part of a family system, with our relationships profoundly influencing each of us. The impact of societal messaging and expectations are often explored in our work together, and I welcome families of all identities. I offer attachment-based individual and connection-based parenting therapy sessions that will help you explore, understand, and find the solutions you want.
“KJ is a thoughtful, straightforward counselor who has an exceptional ability to make connections and draw out important behaviors and patterns. She has a wide range of professional abilities and not only provides practical advice but is really good at supporting the deeper work that's necessary for making lasting change.”
