Mom! Mama! Mommy! Mother! Bruh! Do You Need Some Support?

School and routines are back in full swing, you have put all your hats back on and you’re in full fall mode. Is there something feeling off this year? A feeling of overwhelm, dread, fear or frustration that isn’t letting up as the weeks go on? You are not alone, many of us are experiencing a sense of uneasiness in this season. The world feels heavy, politically the divide is deeper than ever. Confusion, loss & loneliness are themes many of us are dealing with. Mounting concerns about the economy and the future take up space in an already full mind, contributing to further disconnect and anxiety. Tip toeing in social situations for fear of saying the wrong thing or being rejected by those we care for is draining emotionally and spiritually. Life continues to go on, even when dealing with uncertainty, contributing to emotional burnout. Are you struggling to meet deadlines and expectations? Does it feel like there is not enough time or space to manage your emotions and find your footing? Have you considered Faith based counseling or therapy? I can offer you a safe place to say the quiet part out loud, to express your true thoughts and feelings and to explore how you fit in this crazy world.

How Can Therapy Help Me?

Therapy can offer a multitude of benefits, from learning new stress management skills to truly making time for a much needed break. Let’s be honest, this season is generally pretty stressful for a lot of us, especially mothers with school age kids. Homeschool, private school or public school moms can all struggle with new routines and feeling burnt out. Getting started in therapy is not going to take away real life demands, it can however support you through this season. You gain the ability to learn new skills that help you move through the stress in an authentic way. A way that reflects who you are as a mother, partner and Daughter of The Most High. Instead of shoving the feelings down you can give yourself the opportunity to untangle them and find true peace, even in the chaos. Scheduling weekly or bi weekly sessions, or even a therapy intensive weekend is time where you get to focus on you. You will get to lay it all out on the table and your voice will be heard. While many therapists offer an empathetic ear, validation and encouragement, I take healing a step further. Together, we will examine what is working in your life and what needs to go. We take the time to establish healthy routines and habits that transition you from moving through life like a wild banshee to actually thriving. You are the heart of the home, this may feel like an overwhelming role now, but learning to see yourself the way that the Creator of the Universe views you is like taking the blinders off. You were created for this season, to be here raising tiny (or big) humans, to prepare them for what comes next. I encourage you not to hide away under hustle and grind or a glass of wine. Step into the woman and mother you were designed to be.

What Issues Are Supported?

I work with women, couples & families in order to address coping with uncertainty, healing from & preventing burnout, relationship conflicts including communication issues, parenting, healing from trauma, spiritual issues, ADHD, anxiety & depression. If you are dealing with something else and would like to discuss working together, please reach out!

What Do Therapy Sessions Look Like?

I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Your needs & experiences are unique and you deserve a therapist who will honor that. I have many different models that I use including weekly, bi weekly and intensive sessions. Some clients I see for 45 minutes every other week and others I see for 120 minutes per week. My intensive clients book a whole 2-3 day weekend to spend with me. You can read more about therapy intensives Here.

First we schedule a consult in order to ensure working together is a good fit for all. We will schedule an intake session to get to know your needs and set goals. Then we jump in, either literally go for it over hours/days or we can take a more relaxed pace. Ramping up or slowing down to meet you exactly where you are-to provide a chance for unhurried healing. You are the owner of your information, you can share as much or as little as you would like, with no pressure or judgement. My intention is to assist you in attaining the skills you need to thrive, to finally experience healing and to connect with your body in a way that empowers you.

Where Are Services Located?

I offer in person sessions in a comfortable office or out in nature in beautiful Ventura, CA. If you are unable to travel to the area, we can meet via secure video or phone across California, Florida and South Carolina. From Sacramento to San Francisco to San Diego, if you are anywhere in the State of California you can access therapy that fits your needs. Individuals, families and couples located in Charleston to Greenville and everywhere else in the state of South Carolina and all throughout Florida are able to participate in Telehealth therapy and counseling.

Is Faith a Requirement?

No, you do not need to have a specific spiritual or religious affiliation in order to receive therapy with me. I am happy to work with individuals, families and couples from all different walks of life. We are all people, having human experiences that sometimes just need a little extra support. I have a Christ centered world view, believe the Bible is the infallible word of God and have a deep rooted belied that all people deserve compassion and support.

I am happy to incorporate any level of faith or spirituality that feels comfortable for you including (but not limited to) prayer, scripture references, Biblical counseling and meditation.
