During times of struggle, you have an absolute right to support from an attentive, warm, trustworthy witness - someone who believes in your strength and brilliance when you can no longer see it, and who stands by your side as you emerge as the architect of your own healing. My work and my passion is to be that witness. I entered into the field of mental health to uplift the experiences of those who often struggle to find responsive and attuned care. As a queer, biracial, Latinx therapist and advocate, I am wholly dedicated to opening a space with you through which you can experience repair, discovery, growth and transformation.

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.

Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt? Do you feel not-good-enough no matter how hard you try? Do you struggle to say no or feel overly responsible for others? Do you find yourself in unhealthy relationships? Are you overcoming an abusive situation and feel like you have lost your sense of self? These struggles often manifest as anxiety and depression in our bodies. The good news is you don't have to live a life burdened by the past. It is possible to relate to yourself and others in a new way.

I embrace a culturally humble stance, and am LBGT welcoming.

Every person carries a unique story, filled with experiences that shape who they are and how they view the world. As someone who is passionate about helping others, I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel peace and make meaning from their circumstances, no matter how difficult they may be. From my work in wilderness therapy to private practice, I have seen the transformative power of post-traumatic growth firsthand. Through my own therapeutic journey with EMDR, I have learned that healing old wounds is not only possible, but necessary for personal growth and fulfillment. I am excited to help you.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

I specialize in focused treatment for individuals who are suffering from the after effects of trauma and other stressful events. I have worked with people who've experienced a variety of terrible events, such as combat, accidents, abuse, sexual assaults, and near death experiences. After such events, it is common to experience a variety of problems, including PTSD, guilt, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, substance use, or emotional dysregulation. If you are experiencing any of these problems, I can help. I also offer psychedelic assisted therapy, including integration of ketamine or other psychedelic medicines.
