I treat trauma, grief & loss, anxiety & depression, co-dependency, & Adult Children of Alcoholics using conventional talk therapy to EMDR. We'll work as a team to accomplish your goals. Throughout our time together, we'll establish a strong, supportive, and trustworthy relationship that will give you the courage to make the desired changes. I am a Christian counselor when called upon. I am currently treating adults & couples in virtual sessions, and yes, it is just as effective. I can also do in person therapy after the initial intake session virtually.

"It takes courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventure and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." Alan Cohen. I count it a privilege to help you embrace the new and release what is no longer meaningful to you.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

Welcome! Are you looking for a therapist that holds you accountable, is direct, honest and intuitive? Do you find yourself in the same patterns, feeling stuck, desiring clarity on which direction to take? If you're looking for therapy to be transformative, I may be a good fit. I am a depth psychotherapist. I help guide and shed light on the parts of the self that have been hidden in the subconscious, parts of which are often difficult to surface alone. I believe that every person holds inner knowledge of what they need, or untapped intuition. I help people find it and learn to use it.

Are you seeking a deeper sense of self-worth and ease in your life? Ready to take action towards becoming a better version of YOU? I believe therapy sessions are like a dance between client and therapist, as the therapist leads clients to find the answers they already have inside. I teach my clients how to deepen their self-love and begin to trust again, so they can create more ease and flow in their life. I help them overcome past traumas, anxiety, and depressive symptoms with self-love practices and I provide a safe space for them to heal and grow. I am open-minded, non-judgmental, and express ultimate compassion with all clients.

Just because we have been going through life in survival mode does not mean we should have to. We also do not have to go through life challenges alone. Seeking help is not always easy, especially when we are feeling uncertain, lost, or defeated. At times, people need some extra support to process things with, manage difficult emotions, and be comfortable in our own skin. My role as a therapist is to listen, guide, and to help you navigate through life’s challenges. My goal is to teach you healthy coping skills that will enhance current, new and past relationships. Therapy is a collaborative journey to help you move forward.

Whether you have endured abuse or trauma or are otherwise experiencing emotional pain or feeling dissatisfied, my passion is centered on assisting you to move though difficult emotions and experiences to create a life worth living. I have worked in a wide-variety of settings (community and institutions) and with various populations (e.g. domestic violence victims, forensic populations, and individuals diagnosed with personality disorders, mood disorders, and intellectual disabilities) and offer a plethora of clinical expertise covering the endless variations of the human condition. I conduct both treatment and assessments.

Let's talk and better understand your needs and the issues as we prioritize where we need to begin. We will set your therapy goals together, and discuss methods your are comfortable with to address your goals. I have been in practice for 38 years. I utilize approaches of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Psychodynamic, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Resource & Linkage, MI, and Strength-Based approaches to help you with your present life challenges. Currently I am providing Telehealth services only. I accept most insurance plans. I look forward to meeting you and beginning your journey toward improved health and mental health!
