I work with Christian women who love God deeply —
and feel confused or discouraged when their emotions don’t line up with that love.

If any of these slides felt personal,
let this be a gentle reminder:
You don’t need more shame.

You need support, safety, and grace.

Save this for later 🤍

It’s not because you’re weak.
It’s not because your faith isn’t strong enough.
And it’s not because you’re “too much.”

It’s because you’ve been holding everything together for a long time
with very little space to be held yourself.

Many women I work with love God deeply, care fiercely for their people,
and still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or resentful when life doesn’t go as planned.

That doesn’t make you a bad Christian.

It makes you human — with a nervous system that’s tired.
Peace doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from learning how to stay when emotions rise.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone 🤍

Okay, so maybe this isn’t a REAL study…

But as a therapist who works with faith centered women, whose emotions feel louder than their faith, here’s what I DO know:

*Small shifts matter because your body reacts before your beliefs do
*Control, rage, and running away aren’t character flaws —They’re protective strategies.
*Peace doesn’t come from trying “hard harder.” It comes from learning how to stay present

💝 When emotions rise, your body is trying to keep you safe — not sabotage your faith. Learning how to pause, name what’s happening, and respond instead of react is one of the most powerful ways to experience, peace without control or avoidance.

👋 I help Christian women learn how to stay steady when life doesn’t go as planned.

Stop trying to think your way out of feeling. 🧠🛑

Emotions are not rational. They don’t respond to logic, and you can’t solve them like a math problem.

Here’s the truth: Emotions are sensation-al They are felt in the body—a tightness in your chest, a knot in your stomach, a surge of heat. They are signals from your nervous system, not errors in your logic.

If you want to move through an emotion, you have to get out of your head and into your body. That means acknowledging how it manifests physically and letting the sensation run its course… work with it rather than against it.

My body was giving me the blueprint for my desperation: shaking, cold, sweaty, and gut-wrenchingly out of control.

My nervous system was screaming, reacting to external circumstances I couldn’t change. At first, my mind was racing with the impossible question: 🛑Why is this happening?

The shift came when I finally surrendered that impossible questioning. Instead, I dropped to my knees and simply cried out to God, “These emotions are too much. I can’t hold them.”🤲

That raw, honest confession was the true moment of surrender. It was the moment I stopped trying to fix or understand and just let go of the control I wanted so badly. In that vulnerable posture, the truth anchored me: Even when the pain is overwhelming, God is still God and He is still good. He holds the too-much.

If you’re struggling to move past the “why” today, try confessing the weight of the “what.” You don’t have to carry it alone. ❤️

To the one who feels broken and like they don’t belong: I see you. I’ve been there.

You have a purpose—you know it deep down. But striving to earn your worth is exhausting, and the feeling of being “not enough” is a heavy burden.

This page is a space for raw, honest storytelling. I’m sharing my journey through the mess—my real opportunities for growth and restoration—all found through the sanctification of Christ.

You don’t have to keep striving. Come with me, and let’s learn what it means to live fully from your worth and identity in Christ.

Stop striving. Start living. Follow along. 👇

I hope you are sharing a tasty meal with a Wholly Beautiful family today. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

You know those moments when your kid does something completely simple, and it just shines a spotlight on a deep truth?

My son found an empty box and started scrawling his name on it. He declared it as his so that it would NOT BE DISCARDED. He wasn’t just writing on a box; he was claiming it.

It instantly brought me back to two powerful scriptures.
First, Isaiah 43:1, where God says, “I have called you by name; you are mine.” And then Hebrews 10:16, talking about the law being written on our hearts and minds.

Just like my son claimed that cardboard box as his own by writing his name on it, God has claimed us. We aren’t lost, discarded, or unclaimed. We are called, owned, and set apart, with His mark on our very being.

If you ever feel unseen or unvalued, remember: you are written into His story, and you are His. You are claimed.

What’s a recent lesson your kids have taught you that pointed to a bigger truth? Share it below! 👇

The secret to showing up fully for my clients? 🤫 It’s the flexibility of private practice.

I set my schedule to work for my family and my clients, giving me control over my start and stop times. That means I can schedule appointments only when I know I can be 100% emotionally and mentally present.

When you’re sitting across from me, you get my full, focused awareness—and that’s a non-negotiable for the quality of care I provide. ✨

💬 If you’re in private practice, what’s your non-negotiable for client care? Drop it in the comments! (If you’re a client, what do you value most in a practitioner?)

You might be at your lowest point right now, but hear this: it’s not a stopping point, it’s a starting point. A sacred space where, with God’s help, you can lay the most solid foundation for your life. Don’t underestimate the power of starting over, especially when you start with Him.

🦋And for all of us—whether you’re a new believer or a seasoned Christ follower—this foundation requires continual building. We never graduate from the need to reinforce our lives upon the solid Rock.

“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)

Imagine these words coming straight from the mouth of God. But, instead of “holding it together” on your own, imagine the voice of God saying, “You aren’t alone. I am holding this with you.”

In life, we doubt so many things on a daily, even momentary basis. You can use your thoughts to guide you in many different ways but I can assure you that God has a path that is wholly good, though it will mean that there is some pain and suffering. You will have doubt, but where you place that doubt- in the hands of the Enemy or the hands of God- matters.

In the past several months, I’ve been experiencing a silly little annoyance in my eyes. They have watered uncontrollably at times and I found myself wiping them often, even causing raw skin around my eyes.

I continued to wear makeup bc that’s what’s expected of me 🙄 (by my own standards) until one day, I was in agony and finally laid down my own controlling ways, and said no more.

I fasted makeup for roughly 20 days. Now, if you know me, you are aware I’m a more natural kinda gal. I don’t wear a lot, but it did provide me with a false sense of confidence… and you’ll want to hear how this fast changed the way I view myself…

So stay tuned 😉
