A compassionate space to come home to your true self.
Private counseling, spiritual direction, and holistic retreats for adults, empaths, and natural caretakers.
Does any of this sound like the whisper in your heart?
The Burden of Over-Functioning:
"I am utterly depleted from trying to manage everyone’s emotions and keep the peace. Why am I so terrified of disappointing people, and why do I get paralyzed and overwhelmed when conflict arises?"
The Fog of Emotional Exhaustion:
"I feel entirely stagnant, anxious, and down, yet I’m constantly flooded by feeling absolutely everything. Why does it feel hard to genuinely connect with people the older I get, and how do I move forward when I feel stuck?"
The Shock of Broken Safety:
"I hold a deep love for faith, but am struggling to feel safe in church and with family. Why does it feel challenging to share what I’m actually experiencing inside without being judged or dismissed by the people who are supposed to care?"
You are not broken, and you are not failing. In this space, we learn the life-giving art of Caring without Carrying.
Welcome to Pasture, I’m Bekah.
I’m Bekah—an AMFT, Certified Spiritual Director, and Grief Recovery Specialist. I created Pasture as a warm sanctuary where clinical counseling meets deep soul care.
Enriched by a 25-year blend of life experience—spanning ministry, hospice care, authoring, and mothering—I believe meaningful transformation occurs through the power of presence, true human connection, and the sacred practice of with-ness.
Whether you are navigating complex life transitions, processing grief, or unlearning over-functioning as a natural caretaker, you don't have to carry it all alone. Here, you’ll find a safe, unhurried space where your nervous system can settle and you can gently come home to your true self.
Bekah holds an MMFT from Trevecca Nazarene University and is under the clinical supervision of Patricia Winn Thomas Simmons, LMFT (#1590).

“Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.”
— Henri Nouwen
