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.

I work with clients to address mental health concerns and support those looking for self-growth, decrease anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to put in the work to improve their situation because they understand that in order to see change, they must make change.

As a compassionate, caring and experienced psychotherapist with over twenty years in the helping profession, it is my goal to engage with you to recognize and utilize those untapped strengths in order to help you make the changes you desire.

There are many obstacles in the journey of life. Challenges may have shown up in childhood or maybe later in life. Everyone at one time or another will be faced with difficulties. Often we feel like we’re not equipped with the right tools to manage the obstacles we are faced with. I approach counseling as a process to develop a sense of personal control and confidence in navigating those difficult roads. My role is not to give you a preplanned map, but to work with you to chart a course that makes sense, in finding ways that work for you and to give you support during that journey.

My career as a Marriage & Family Therapist since 2002 has brought a welcome variety of clients, each with a unique situation and opportunity for healing.

You have everything you need to get through whatever life throws at you. My job is to help you find it. I look forward to working with you.

We may experience challenging moments during our lives. Talking to someone can help empower an individual to accomplish their goals and improve future circumstances.
