A life that makes room
for you, too.
At work, part of you is thinking about home. At home, part of you is thinking about work. Somewhere between the deadlines, pickup, and everything that needs remembering, your own needs keep getting moved to tomorrow.
You can care deeply about your work and your family and still need something to change.

Working-mom burnout & the mental load
You’re doing so much.
And you never quite feel done.
You may be getting things done while feeling stretched thin, resentful, or disconnected from yourself. There’s space here to work through burnout, an uneven mental load, and the pressure to be available to everyone.
- Feeling guilty when you’re working—and when you take time for yourself.
- Keeping track of appointments, meals, school messages, and everyone’s next steps.
- Feeling responsible for noticing and delegating, even when your partner helps.
- Using your downtime to catch up instead of doing something you enjoy.
- Feeling pressure to be productive, patient, present, and available all at once.
Support through the transition
Returning to work after baby
Going back to work can bring relief, sadness, anxiety, excitement—or feelings that change throughout the day. You may want your career and still find the transition difficult.
Before you return, we can talk through separation worries, expectations about your workload, and conversations you need to have with your partner or workplace.
During those first weeks, we can make room for guilt, changes in confidence, and the strain of moving between work and parenting. We might practice asking for support, setting a boundary, or responding to the thought that you should be doing more.
As routines settle, we’ll revisit what is working and what needs to change. Therapy can help you consider your needs alongside the responsibilities and limits of your actual life.
You’re welcome whether you’re preparing to return, recently back, or years into working motherhood. You can also explore postpartum and perinatal support.
Our work together
What we can work on together
We might start with a moment that keeps repeating: answering work messages during family time, feeling resentful about an uneven workload, or struggling to rest without guilt. We’ll look at what is happening, what you need, and what you’d like to respond to differently.
Our work may include practicing a boundary, making room for a difficult feeling, or preparing for a conversation at home or at work. I draw from CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, IFS, and ACT, tailoring our work to your needs, goals, and what you’re looking for in therapy. We’ll check in about what feels useful and adjust together.
Online individual sessions are $180 for 50 minutes. A free 15-minute phone consultation gives us a chance to discuss your needs and practical questions before you decide.

You’re allowed to want
something that belongs to you.
Maybe you miss having an unhurried conversation, pursuing an interest, or making a decision without weighing everyone else’s needs first.
We can explore what you want this chapter to include and take realistic steps toward it. The aim is a daily life with more support and room for your needs.
Susan Hea Jin Ko, LMFT
Your work, your family, and your own expectations.
I’m Susan, a therapist, mom, and Korean American. I work with women navigating a career, motherhood, and relationships—often feeling pulled between what your work needs, what your family needs, and what you need.
Sometimes the pressure involves more than a busy schedule. It might mean feeling guilty about using childcare, disagreeing with your parents about parenting, or being the person everyone expects to manage things.
We can explore how your family, culture, and experiences shape those expectations. I’ll stay curious about what matters to you as we work toward decisions and boundaries that fit your life.
