When Burnout, Anxiety, and Marriage Strain Take Over: Therapy for Women Who Carry It All
You’ve built a life that looks fine on the outside. Inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, and holding everything together while no one notices, or worse, no one cares.
Everyone thinks you have it together—the house, the family, the life. But what no one sees is the exhaustion you feel the second your eyes open in the morning. The racing thoughts. The resentment you push down because you don’t want to admit how angry you feel. The loneliness of carrying so much and still feeling invisible in your own home.
You’ve tried to fix it. You’ve had the conversations, set reminders, held it all. Nothing changes. And now, the cracks are too big to hide.

Therapy for Wives, Moms, and Women Who Feel Overwhelmed and Exhausted
This is what it feels like when you’ve been carrying too much for too long:
Burnout and chronic stress — You wake up already tired, like no amount of rest could ever be enough.
Marriage or partnership strain — You feel distant, unseen, or like you’re the only one trying to keep the relationship alive.
Anxiety and resentment that won’t stop — Your mind spins nonstop with everyone else’s needs, and underneath it all, you’re angry for carrying it—and guilty for being angry.
Parenting stress, especially with teens in crisis — Every change in your child’s mood makes your stomach drop. You’re terrified you’ll miss the one sign that means everything is about to collapse.
Trauma that won’t stay buried — The stress cracks you open, and old pain spills back into your life, no matter how hard you try to push it down.
If this sounds like you, you already know you can’t keep doing it this way.
Why Talking About It Hasn’t Changed Anything
You’ve probably tried therapy, venting to friends, or holding it all in. Maybe you’ve read the books, made the lists, tried the strategies. But no matter what you do, the same patterns keep repeating.
Here’s why:
You’ve been holding the load for too long. Change starts when you stop carrying what was never yours to carry.
In family systems, one person shifting their boundaries, their patterns, and their way of relating can change the entire system. But that change doesn’t come from doing more, carrying more, or trying harder—it comes from stepping out of the roles that keep you stuck.
That’s where therapy helps. It gives you the space and structure to see those patterns clearly, and the tools to step into new ways of relating that ripple through your family, your marriage, and your own sense of self.
An Investment in Your Sanity, Your Relationships, and Your Future
I charge $185per 50-minute session. At first glance, that number might feel high—but you’re not just paying for another hour of talking. You’re investing in:
15 years of clinical experience helping women, wives, and moms break patterns and stabilize their lives
Relief from burnout and chronic stress that drains your body and mind
Privacy—no insurance records, no diagnoses following you
Structure and clarity that help you create real, lasting change
Support that ripples through your marriage, parenting, and daily life
A safe place where you don’t have to carry the weight alone
Most of my clients have already spent thousands on schools, tutors, wellness programs, or quick fixes—only to find nothing really changed. What you’re paying for here is expertise and a proven process that finally addresses what’s underneath.
Your stability—and your family’s stability—is worth that investment.

Meet Kristin Martinez, LMFT
I’ve spent over 15 years as a therapist working with women, wives, and moms who carry more than anyone realizes. I know what it’s like to balance family, marriage, and the weight of everyone else’s needs—because I’ve lived it myself while leading a large practice and raising a family of six.
That’s why my approach isn’t about endless talking or giving you one more thing to do. It’s about helping you see the patterns that keep you stuck, setting boundaries that protect your peace, and creating stability that actually lasts. Therapy with me is private, structured, and focused on results—so you don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.
