Untangle Shame & Anxiety with Kristin Inkley, LMSW

A Shame-Free Space for Moms

Motherhood is full of contradictions. You love your kids deeply, yet some days you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

You’re grateful, but also tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. You’re surrounded by people who need you, yet you feel completely alone.

Somewhere along the way, you started believing you had to hold it all together—that asking for help meant you were failing.

But you’re not failing. You’re human.

Hi, I’m Kristin, a therapist who helps women—especially mothers—untangle the heavy mix of shame, anxiety and pressure that comes with trying to do it all.

In my work, I see how often women carry silent stories of self-blame:

I should be happier.
I should be doing more.
I should be stronger.

Those “shoulds” can become chains, keeping you stuck in guilt and overwhelm.

In our sessions, we’ll work to release those chains. My trauma-informed, compassionate approach helps you understand where those patterns come from—whether rooted in old wounds, cultural expectations, or the invisible labor of motherhood.

You’ll learn how to listen to yourself again, set boundaries that feel doable, and begin to reconnect with who you are beneath the noise.

You don’t have to pretend to be okay here. You don’t have to minimize your feelings or apologize for struggling. This is your space to be fully seen—messy hair, tears, coffee stains, and all.

Together, we’ll build a path forward that feels gentle, sustainable, and real. You deserve a life that isn’t ruled by shame, but grounded in self-compassion and truth. One steady, grounded step at a time, we’ll help you come home to yourself.
