Who We Help:

Women Facing the Mental Load of Motherhood

mom

You’re the planner, the keeper, the one who remembers everything. And you’re exhausted.

Even when you’re not physically doing something, your mind is racing—tracking meals, appointments, emotions, and logistics. You feel like the default parent, the household manager, the emotional barometer for everyone around you.

And even though you’re proud of all you handle, sometimes you wonder: Who’s caring for me?

This invisible weight is very real—and very heavy.

At Larkspur & Daisy, therapist Kaitlyn Runyon understands the emotional toll of modern motherhood. It’s not just the to-do lists—it’s the mental load, the expectations, the constant pressure to get it right.

You might be:

  • Snapping at your partner and then feeling guilty

  • Lying awake at night thinking about how your child felt today

  • Struggling with burnout, irritability, or a sense of numbness

  • Carrying emotional patterns from your own childhood

  • Wondering who you even are anymore

You’re not failing. You’re overloaded.

And therapy can help lighten the load.

Kaitlyn meets you where you are—with calm, compassion, and tools that work.

Kaitlyn blends a warm, relational approach with evidence-based practices designed to help you manage stress, reconnect with yourself, and develop new ways of coping. Depending on your needs, your sessions may include:

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

to help you notice, name, and navigate difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them

DBT-informed skills

to improve emotion regulation, set boundaries, and reduce reactivity

Narrative and strength-based techniques

that help reframe self-critical stories and empower you in your role

Expressive arts interventions

to explore your identity and emotions in creative, accessible ways

Here's How it Works

At Larkspur & Daisy, therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about anchoring you.

Clients often describe Kaitlyn as a lighthouse in their storm: steady, reliable, and illuminating a path forward. Healing starts when you feel safe, and safety is what Kaitlyn consistently offers.
