Stress & Anxiety
Lately, You’ve Been Feeling Like You Just Can’t Keep Your Head Above Water
Do you ever picture yourself like Peter, walking on the water toward Jesus, in the middle of a huge storm, and all of a sudden you feel yourself sinking into the waves? You wonder how long before you just go under.
You're drowning under all the pressure, responsibilities, and expectations.
If you just had enough strength to make it a few more steps? Or even just get some floaties for your arms?
You’ve Probably Felt Something Like This Before and You Feel Like You Just Can’t do it Anymore.
You feel like no matter how hard you try, you can’t find the peace & joy you’re “supposed” to feel as a Christian.
There’s always something on your mind. Always a “what if”.
Sometimes your thoughts are racing. Or sometimes they keep you up at night. You try to pray, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like enough.
Now you’re ready to grab onto Jesus, stop living like you're drowning, and figure out how to finally have peace, slow down and enjoy the life you’ve been given.
Stress & Anxiety Isn’t Always Bad
Sometimes Satan causes us to have stress and anxiety, which in turn makes us question our faith or doubt that things can get better. But we can use that stress and anxiety to propel us to put our trust in God and take the steps we need to take, to accomplish the things we want to accomplish.
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. ~John 10:10
Together we will break things into bite-size pieces, so they're easier to manage.
We'll develop a reasonable schedule for yourself, where you block off time for the things you need to get done, but also time for the things that are important to you.
It might mean facing some fears about disappointing others, failing, or not being good enough.
It’s time to take a hard look at yourself, your values, and your priorities.
Depression
Do You Feel Like You Just Can't Find the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in Your Heart?
Do you feel like you just aren’t motivated to do anything or go anywhere? You’d rather just stay home and sleep.
You just sit and watch t.v. mindlessly or scroll through social media.
Are these feelings of depression interfering with your daily life and functioning?
Do you find it hard to be productive at work?
Are there days you just don’t get out of bed or get dressed?
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Sometimes We Just Need a Reminder
When you’re caught in a cycle of depression, you may not be able to see your way out, so you get stuck even further in the pit.
We'll work together, using the power of Positive Psychology, to recall the things
that bring you joy and the things you’re grateful for.
We'll work together to overcome the depression that’s taken a hold of you and bring you back into a place of balance and contentment.
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your sins...and redeems your life from the pit.” ~Psalm 103:2-4
Communication Skills
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.” ~James 1:9
Do You Often Feel Unheard or Misunderstood?
Strong communication is essential in every area of life—whether at home, at work, or in social settings.
Communication is about listening first. In order to communication well, we must be quick to listen, not only to hear, but more importantly, to understand. And we must be slow to speak, ensuring that we correctly understand the person talking to us. And instead of becoming angry or defensive, we must try to understand the emotions behind the other person’s words.
Through the use of Active Listening and “I” Statements, you can learn how to better understand others and how to more clearly express what’s on your mind, by taking responsibility for your own emotions.
Sessions include guided practice, real-life exercises, and strategies tailored to your unique communication challenges. And between sessions, you will have the opportunity to practice your newly learned skills.
Misunderstandings, conflict, or difficulty expressing your thoughts can create stress, frustration, and disconnection.
At Mustard Seed Christian Counseling, I help you develop practical communication skills so you can speak with confidence, listen with understanding, and build stronger connections with the people around you. Whether your goal is to improve work communication, family interactions, or personal relationships, you’ll leave with practical skills that you can use immediately.
Through communication skills counseling, you will learn to:
Express thoughts and feelings clearly and respectfully
Listen to understand instead of just respond
Manage conflict and navigate difficult conversations
Set healthy boundaries and advocate for your needs
Build confidence in personal, professional, and social interactions
Strengthen relationships by fostering empathy and understanding
Life Stage Counseling
Do You Find Yourself Feeling Overwhelmed, Asking, “What Now, God?”
Guidance, Support, and Tools for Navigating Life’s Changes
Life is full of transitions—some anticipated, others unexpected. Moving to a new city, starting a new career, experiencing a loss, becoming a parent, or adjusting to a major life change can feel exciting at times, but also overwhelming and stressful.
At Mustard Seed Christian Counseling, I will help you navigate these transitions with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” ~Proverbs 3:5-6
Life Transitions Can Be Challenging
Even positive changes can bring uncertainty and emotional strain. You may feel anxious, uncertain, or stuck while adjusting to new circumstances. Life transitions often impact relationships, work, and personal identity, and it can be difficult to find balance on your own.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”. ~John 16:33

Develop coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and uncertainty
Identify patterns that may hold you back from embracing new opportunities

Personal Development
Perfectionism is What Made You Successful
Your high standards and lofty goals sounded great when you first ventured into the work world.
You wanted to do the best, be the best.
Your attention to detail and high standards definitely played an important role in your success.
But now you feel like nothing you do is good enough?
Chances are that you’ve felt that way for so long, you’ve come to believe it yourself.
Sometimes perfectionism actually gets in your way. It stops you from doing things because you’re afraid it won’t be perfect.
But Now It Leads to Procrastination, Shame and Self-Judgment.
While perfectionists are often indirectly rewarded in the workplace, this frequently causes increased anxiety, problems in work relationships, and even problems in relationships at home.
Working together, you can finally learn to let go of the unreasonable expectations you hold for yourself and begin to experience personal freedom.
This involves learning about where these tendencies came from, how they’ve served you in your life, and how they’re holding you back.
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
Find Life/Work Balance
Are you ready to:

Imagine What It Would Be Like To Be Free From Perfectionism & Just Be Yourself
You’d feel confident being yourself, not always trying to be someone or something you’re not, to live up to a perfect standard.
You'd be able to relax and be fully present with your friends and family.
You'd truly understand that your value and worth have nothing to do with how well you perform.
You’d come to know that your value and worth come from how God sees you, not how others see you.
You want to discover your spiritual gifts, find God’s purpose for your life,
and achieve personal fulfillment.
You want to be that confident person who doesn’t worry about what everyone else
thinks, but seeks to live a life worthy of the calling of Christ.
Together we can work to increase your self-confidence by decreasing your need to be perfect in the eyes of the world.
We can work together to develop a work/life balance that isn’t based on performance or perfection.
