Did you find me on Psychology Today? Are you looking for online therapy for busy mamas – you being one of them? Read on to see what I offer and if you may be a good fit for you. If you think this is exactly where you need to be, I look so forward to meeting you.
Do you desperately want to know you are doing the right thing as a parent? You’ll go from worrying about not feeling like you are a “good enough” parent… to knowing exactly how to make your child feel better. So that what you think will help, will ACTUALLY help. So that you actually make a difference to you life and your child’s life.
What would you do if you stopped avoiding your own child. So instead of yelling and feeling guilty later on… you feel “good enough” as a parent? And you’re blown away at how much changes over a period of time. Your mornings will no longer be a battle of tears, and instead they’ll be filled with smiles from both you and your child.
Imagine what life would be like if you felt like you were actually doing your job as a parent. Like you’re a “good enough” parent. Just picture it. It’s Monday morning, and it’s the first Monday morning you haven’t dreaded in a really freakin’ long time. Your home life is different now. It was all such a blur when it happened and how it happened. But now, when you look at your child, you are reminded why you just love being a mom. For the first time since this all happened and wreaked havoc in your family, you REALLY understand what your child is going through. Your mornings are no longer a battle of tears and frustration. And you no longer go to bed with that disappointing feeling that something is missing. For the first time in ages, you actually tell yourself that you’re doing a good job… And best of all, that working mom guilt doesn’t creep up on you as much as it once did. Now things are so different. You know exactly how to help your child and now you have more time together enjoying those early school mornings, instead of always problem solving, yelling, and feeling deeply guilty for it later on.
Surprising proven way to feel good enough as a mom. Quit that battle of tears every morning with your child… and be better equipped to deal with incidents. Be blown away at how much changes over a period of time.
What would you do if you stopped avoiding your own child. So instead of yelling and feeling guilty later on… you feel “good enough” as a parent? And you’re blown away at how much changes over a period of time. Your mornings will no longer be a battle of tears, and instead they’ll be filled with smiles from both you and your child.
Do you feel like you are the only mom that screams at her child? After you scream, you feel SO guilty but “it’s the only way to make her listen sometimes!” You end up mad at yourself, and feel desperately guilty later on. You always feel like the worst mother in the world when you do it. You feel so awful. And you hate it so much. You never yelled at anyone in your life until you had kids. But it seems like it’s the only way you can get through it all. It feels like they don’t take you seriously or like no matter what you do or how much they struggle, nothing you do seems to work. You know that causes more worries and fears in your kids than anything. And you desperately don’t want them to be scared of you. You know you only do it when you are stressed or anxious. But that is when you feel the worst because it is more about you than it is about them.
Learn how to stop always feeling frustrated with each other. You want to truly help your child feel better. Because you’re the one person who you think is supposed to do just that. Feel better equipped to deal with incidents and KNOW you are doing the right thing.
Have you noticed that constant push-pull relationship with your child? And do you feel like you are ALWAYS running out of ideas? Like no matter what you do to try and help your child, you only feel like you make things worse? Over and over again, you just feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells around your child because who knows what might be the next thing to set them off. So you start avoiding them so you don’t get frustrated and yell, and then feel guilty for it later on.
Do you feel like your child has an irrational fear of being alone? And that putting your child to bed each night is becoming an exhausting task? Your child wakes up in a grumpy mood daily, and nothing you do seems to help that. And why does it feel like it is getting worse by the week? That one minute your child is so scared and afraid, and then the next minute it turns into sadness and even anger. Your child’s anger seems to get so out of control, you don’t even know what to do anymore. There are always so many questions and even though you try your best to make your child feel better, you just don’t know if what you are doing is the right thing anymore.
Finally, you’ll know you are doing the right thing as a mom. You’ll go from wondering if you are doing something wrong as a parent… to feeling better equipped to help your child not feel so frustrated. You’ll feel “good enough” as a parent again and you’ll feel sure of knowing exactly what to do to help yourself and your child.
I always had a magnetic pull to working with children and their brave mamas who had anxiety. Maybe it is because I have struggled with anxiety myself. And possibly because my own sweet mama has her own worries and fears too. It is crippling if you deal with it as a teenager. It is crippling if you deal with it as a young adult. But nothing prepares you for dealing with it (in all its forms!) as a trying-her-freaking-best mother.
Although I studied and am licensed in WA state, I currently reside in Dubai. And I have noticed such a need to figure out an ever growing problem of children living with more and more pressure and higher expectations of themselves, at younger and younger ages. My job at the time required me to travel all over the world at least once a week, so I needed to find a way to make a difference with the families I worked with. That’s how I created online sessions so that my physical location was never a barrier to actually helping families that needed the help.
I started out writing news articles for local magazines like Cosmo Middle East and Mother, Baby and Child, and also bigger online platforms like HuffPost, Business Insider and Parents. I visited local schools and nurseries to walk alongside teachers, students and parents who needed to hear more about what a fast paced, high pressure lifestyle does to us. Very quickly word of mouth took over, and before I even realized it, I was putting together a team to help me create WarriorBrain.com. I wanted to reach more families and help more brave parents feel like they are doing enough as a mom and dad again. Working with children, teens and their parents has always been where my heart is. It is my life’s work and it always will be. I am so grateful you found me and that you’re reading this right now. Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to get to know you a bit better.

Are you really as bad a parent as you think you are? Do you feel like you are the worst parent on the face of this earth? And like nothing you do is right? Do you always hide your true thoughts and feelings and carry so much shame and guilt for what you did that one time?
Here’s something I think you need to hear that nobody else is saying: you’re doing a freakin’ good job, brave mama. You are so brave, that it actually makes other mothers just like you, feel even braver too. You get in the trenches daily. You push up your sleeves, get stuck in, and keep trying to figure your way out NO. MATTER. WHAT. It’s exhausting and sometimes you wish you could run away from your own life. Get on a plane and never look back. You feel like THE WORST mother in the world for having those feelings, but you can’t deny that how very real they are. You often wonder “does anyone else have these thoughts too?” But you’re too afraid to share your darkest thoughts and feelings, because of how ashamed you feel. You think to yourself, “…then they’ll know I’m a terrible mom.”
You take care of your children and your family, day in and day out. By who takes care of you? About that feeling you have just wanting to feel supported… and just wishing you had someone to tell you what to do – what the “right thing is”. That comes from not feeling heard and seen in all your great and not so great ways. And you so deserve to be heard and seen! Now before you start to feel guilty about feeling that way, let’s step back and remember your role as a parent:
You are a caretaker, a paramedic on call, a housekeeper and laundry basket emptier, a playdate co ordinator, a speech and grammar specialist, and the live in personal chef. You are a taxi driver, a keeper of state secrets (shhh!), an important errand runner, a teacher, a therapist, and in your 3 seconds of quiet time, you’re a baker or buyer of baked goods too. Should I go on? I don’t know you well, but I know you are EVERYTHING I mentioned and more! I know you do you damned best and you ALWAYS invest everything you got at the time.
I’m here to tell you that “bad parent” is not a role you get to play. You are undeserving of this title in every way. You always do the best you can with what you have at the time. Yes, you may have gripped your sweet child’s shoulders way harder than you’d ever admit to. Here’s the unspoken truth: mothers lose their sh!t. And they lose it often. We are wired that way for a reason.
Feeling absolutely and utterly broken, means you get to start from a clean slate the next day. Getting to this point is a reminder that something isn’t working. That something needs to change. If you have reached this point and reached it many times, then this last “lost my sh!t” moment was your red flag that it’s time to make a change. Schedule a 30 min free call with me today and see if I am a good fit for you and your family.
Online Therapy For Busy Mamas, and How to Know if it is a Good Fit for You
Your first 90-minute session is the intake session where I will ask you questions such as family history, current symptoms, hopes and dreams, etc. It is structured and helps me understand you. There may also be questionnaires that I will ask you to complete. Should either of us determine that the type of treatment I offer, or the mode of treatment (online) is not a good fit for you, or if I am not a good fit for you, I will refer you for recommended treatment more suitable to you. The way I do therapy is not for everyone. And I know when I can be helpful, and when I think someone else might be more helpful for you.
And then…
The next time you meet with me, you will meet for a 50 min counseling hour. We will work towards figuring out what your top 3 or 4 goals are for our sessions. Initially, we will build an understanding of each other as we get to know each other. As the process continues, we will address core issues such as mental scripts that no longer serve you. You will also be equipped with the tools to help give you relief of symptoms such as sleeplessness, overthinking, and constant fear of something bad happening, etc.
And also…
There are barriers to online therapy and why people may not choose this mode of therapy. If you do not have a great internet connection (if you can watch Netflix with your connection, that works!) or it is a struggle to carve out 1 hour of private and uninterrupted time, then this may not be a good fit for you. If you are actively suicidal or require a higher level of care, then calling your local crisis line and meeting with a therapist in person may be a better fit for you at this time. There are limitations that may apply to your specific situation. I’d be more than happy to look at it with you to see if online therapy would be a good fit for you. If not, I’ll be sure to help you find the right fit elsewhere. Either way, you get the help you need!

You are unique. You are unlike other mothers that just accept a chaotic life. You want more out of life, and you know you and your family deserve just that. You are a mama that is unwilling to go down without a fight. But the fight has taken a lot out of you. You are very skeptical if this will work. You don’t just want to be seen as another dollar sign. You want to feel like someone actually cares about helping you. You want to feel like you are truly working together with your therapist. You want to feel better after your sessions are finished, and not feel worse about yourself. So I’ll offer you my 30 day 100% money back guarantee:
If you don’t LOVE AND ADORE the unique way I do online therapy, I insist you get 100% of your money back if after 30 days you are unhappy with my services. Let me tell you why I offer this honest guarantee:
I will ask you to be brave and try out some new ways of doing things with your child and at home – even if you think you’ve tried them all. And if you are brave enough to make the changes we talk about and figure it out together with me, then all I ask of you is to be open to what happens next! I am confident you will feel and see the little changes and the big ones too. I created a list of tools for families that really work. I created them over many YEARS, after studying to be a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and pursuing my Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) license in WA state, USA. I then tested it with families I have worked with in person and online. And I have received real feedback to make what we do together, that much more effective.

“I have no doubt this has been the ultimate game changer for all of us. Thank you so much – you always seem to know just the right thing to say.”
“She (teen daughter) told me in a conversation a while back that she doesn’t like anything about herself. Now, she really wants to continue with you. She is seeing the benefits because of the changes she has already made, thanks to you. Thank you for everything.”
“I know I keep saying this, but I really don’t know what we would do without you. You are such a great source of support for all of us. Words cannot express how much your caring about her and us means – in good times and bad!”
“You have been nothing but amazing to us from the beginning. Our child is doing so much better than expected. She said you two had a great chat today. She always seems a little lighter after having spoken to you. Thank you again for everything. You are the best!”

Thank you.”
“The last parent teacher meeting they said she is very good at doing her school work now. And she has improved a lot. She’s helpful in class and not so shy. They always give me good feedback about her now. Thank you Carla. She is very happy now. Thank you for what you do.”

You can do this, mama! If you are ready to take the next step, I’m so ready to take it with you. I’m excited to see your email pop up in my inbox when you are ready.
