Been praying for help?

Sometimes the answer comes in finding faith-based support you can trust.

Welcome to Keyrose Counseling

 Therapy for Catholics in California, 

Online

and 

In-person on California's Central Coast

                                      You can’t keep the tidal wave at bay anymore.

The anxiety and depression have become so painful, it’s hard to function. You can’t seem to focus to get anything done. It’s difficult to sleep.

There is a constant sense of uneasiness, a kind of jittery dread. There’s just no peace, no joy, no hope.

You’ve tried self-improvement, supplements, books by Catholic authors, Confession – nothing seems to help.

 You find yourself worrying, even during Mass. 

And relationship problems have left you feeling exhausted, lonely, and unfulfilled.

There’s no connection. There’s no relief. Even your prayer life feels dry.

You don’t have the energy to try to fix it… and you wouldn’t even know where to begin.

It’s time to get the right, Catholic help. 

You know you need it – but you don’t trust secular, new-age therapists.

What you need, is true and lasting healing. For that, you need a trained, experienced, skilled, Catholic licensed therapist and certified spiritual director; a guide that you can trust – one who shares your faith and values, and understands the need for openness to God's grace, which is the source of all true healing.

As a Licensed Catholic Therapist and Certified Spiritual Director, I share your understanding that deep, true healing comes only from God. I use my skills in His service.

I trust that divine providence has brought you here.

We’ll invite the Spirit to bring the balm of healing to your spirit, realigning the soul, mind, body, and emotions.

This deep realignment spills out in concentric circles, encompassing your relationships, your vocation, your spiritual life – every aspect of your being.

Let’s work together to engage God in your healing process.

To facilitate this process, you need a competent and experienced therapist and spiritual director who can guide you through the right process and who you can trust to respect your faith and values.

Together, we will welcome the light of truth to care for your soul and explore the critical skills that will invite relief from the pain of the past and full freedom to blossom into your true self in your emotional life and relationships, in your work, and in all aspects of life.

Come into full alignment, and experience lasting healing, peace, and happiness within yourself and in your relationship with others.

I’d be honored to guide you.  

Free yourself of anxiety and depression and come to experience deep love and satisfaction in your relationships, in your vocation, and in your true self, as God’s beloved, and fulfill your potential.

An answered prayer sometimes comes in the form of the right help, at the right time. It’s up to you to discern it and to open to grace and avail yourself of it.

 Call (805) 712-1646  today for a free phone consultation.

 

Practice Info

Bio:
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Spiritual Director,
Camaldolese Benedictine Oblate and
Certified TIR (Traumatic Incident Reduction) Facilitator and
Virtual Counselor.

It’s my vocation to guide women who struggle with anxiety and depression to move past unconscious and unhelpful patterns rooted in past –

To move into the fullness of joy and purpose of life in the present, to feel at peace inside their own skin, to move through life transitions, to perform better, to relate with more ease, to move into their authentic Selves, and to blossom into their full potential as the unique gifts from God that they truly are.

It’s also my honor and privilege to assist couples in enriching their relationships, working through and healing from the past, reigniting their sacred spark, and shedding anything that keeps them from the genuine, loving, sacramental marriage that they truly desire and deserve.

My professional training:

I earned my bachelor’s degree at UC-Davis and my master’s degree in Psychology with a Dance Movement Therapy Certification from Cal State University-East Bay.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I received my certification for Spiritual Direction from the Global Benedictine Spiritual Direction Program.

I hold certifications in Conflict Resolution (New Ways for Families High Conflict Institute), Developmental Model Couples Therapy Training (The Couples Institute) and am a trained TIR (Traumatic Incident Reduction) Facilitator who utilizes applied metapsychology techniques and processes to resolve what keeps clients stuck and allow them to move into full freedom, to blossom into their true self , with all the gifts they have to offer.

My personal interests:

Along with seeing clients in my private practice, I also facilitate Soul-Work Workshops for Women, which combine Authentic Movement, drawing, journaling, and sharing within the group.

My husband and I are Camaldolese Benedictine Oblates of the Monastery of the Risen Christ in San Luis Obispo. We typically pray Lauds, Vespers and Compline, attend Mass regularly, and practice Lectio Divina together daily. I enjoy providing Spiritual Direction and writing Icons.

My hobbies include writing, reading literary fiction and poetry, composing music, singing, playing guitar, and gardening.

I’m a Peloton junkie who revels in a sweaty daily cycling workout, followed by some stretching. When outdoors, my husband and I indulge in hiking, kayaking, and putting the top down on our convertible for long drives around the beautiful California Central Coast. My husband has wanderlust, so we travel, wander, and enjoy getting lost together.

We’re also foodies who love entertaining – sharing homemade meals with our family (including four grown sons) and friends out on our deck while warding off our very spoiled six pet hens and two cats, typically lurking nearby awaiting treats.

You’ve tried, but you just can’t seem to get past it.

This isn’t who you are – what you know you can be. You’re intelligent, motivated, and successful. You’ve always been up to the challenge, but something is wrong.

And you really don’t like feeling this way, but you don’t know how to break free.

What you tried in the past isn’t working anymore – the things you used to love or find exciting – now, not so much.

You KNOW there’s something more, something better, out there.

But where is it? How do you reach it?

The good news? You’re not alone, and there is a way forward.

You’re motivated. Creative. Educated. Professional.

Your faith is important to you, and you’re fully committed to making transformational changes in your life.

Changes that shed fragmented and false aspects of your old self.

Changes that foster integrated mind, body, and spirit and relationships – so you can experience authentic joy, peace, and purpose.

Together, through therapy, we can resolve the pain of the past and bring your true, integrated Self into all aspects of your life—your vocation and your most intimate, sacred relationships where you can then enjoy the freedom to cultivate genuine love, joy, and fulfillment and true peace.

A different experience

Together, we’ll use a unique combination of approaches from TIR, Depth Psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Relational Development and Spirituality, rooted in a Contemplative Catholic framework.
We’ll combine relational, experiential, relational, past history resolution and spiritual and pragmatic techniques to help you receive what you want from your life with more ease, less pain, more purposeful awareness, and greater love and satisfaction in your relationships.
The emergence of the true Self in the individual allows for greater clarity about your values, purpose and desires, not only for your Self, but also in your work and within the context of healthy, intimate relationship with your spouse.
Mind, heart, body and spirit.
Most therapists include approaches that speak to the head and the heart, but somatic approaches go one step further. They bring the body into alignment with the head and heart.
Depth Psychology adds additional, transpersonal understanding, which, along with spiritual accompaniment, allows for the emergence of your full potential. TIR and other applied Metapsychology techniques work powerfully, in conjunction, to quickly resolve painful past experiences so as to allow you to live fully, unencumbered, in the present and to co-create the future you're called to.
This combination gently whittles away the aspects of the fragmented and false self to reveal your True Self, the place where head, heart, body, spirit and soul meet.
It includes the big picture. All of you – your emotions, thoughts, habits, prayer life, relationship with your mate, with God and, ultimately, your unique gifts and purpose.

Embrace your whole self. See where transformation takes you.

Sometimes prayers are answered in the form of the right help at the right time. It's up to you to give your fiat. Call today 805-712-1646.
