Hi!
I'm Alex, a mom of three little girls, a former school counselor, and someone who's walking through the chaos and beauty of motherhood. I created Taproot Catholic because I know how overwhelming life can feel when you’re juggling the needs of little ones, your own emotional health, and your desire to grow closer to God.
My Story
My journey toward creating this space didn’t start in an office or a classroom - it started at home. I remember one hectic afternoon: the baby crying, toddlers spilling snacks and arguing, and me thinking, “How do I keep my heart steady when everything feels out of control?” That moment made me realize that I needed practical tools rooted in faith. Tools to help me breathe, reflect, and grow, even in the middle of the storm.
I also bring professional training in counseling and mental health, along with my personal experiences as a mom, to guide the resources I create. Taproot Catholic is built around three pathways, each designed to meet you where you are:
1. The Overwhelmed Mom in the Moment of Desperation
Quick, grounding exercises and regulation skills to help you find calm and courage when everything feels too much.
2. The Mom Who Wants to Grow Proactively
Practical strategies for building emotional resilience and spiritual growth before overwhelm sets in.
3. The Mom Considering Therapy or Professional Support
Guidance and encouragement for discerning if professional support could help you, along with practical next steps.
Every part of Taproot Catholic comes from my own experience - the messy mornings, the prayerful moments, and the small wins along the way. I hope you’ll find a place here to pause, breathe, and take a gentle step toward growth. Because even in the busiest seasons, your heart can still flourish.
