Anxiety and doubt has been running your life for quite a while. Whether it is your own anxiety or the anxiety of your child, it feels like there is almost never a moment that is free from worry.

Are you a parent in search of help for yourself, your child, or your teen? Sometimes it can be difficult for children to reach their full potential.

Life can be difficult and confusing; it can be helpful to have someone to guide you in utilizing your strengths and gaining skills to navigate life more effectively.

“Therapy only works when we have a genuine desire to know ourselves as we are, not as we would like to be”. Shiizakana. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, and in the last six years, I have been focusing on helping clients through their healing and self-discovery journey. After working with Active-Duty service members, my practice evolved from general mental wellness to trauma-focused therapy with an emphasis on disorders comorbid to it. I treat teenagers, children, and adults ages 7 to 65. Our first sessions will consist of a biopsychosocial assessment that will allow us to build rapport and develop an agreed

Four years ago I began working with professional athletes and traumatic brain injuries. This opened a huge door for me to understanding that there are many un-diagnosed brain injuries in the US resulting not just from professional sports, but car accidents, bicycle accidents, falls, and a wide assortment of ways in which children, adolescents, and adults receive a blow to the head. Our brains are much more fragile than previously understood. Be aware: chronic pain, chronic fatigue, constant headaches, brain fog, dizziness, loss of balance, poor memory, sensitivity to light/sound, poor sleep patterns, depression/anxiety.

My areas of interest and expertise include individual, couples, and family therapy, trauma, depression, anxiety (and anxiety related disorders), addictions, grief, spirituality and spiritual crises, personal growth, and identity crises.

The benefit of therapy is that one can gain self-understanding, as well as a better understanding of other people. When a person tends to view the world from a negative perspective, without being aware of the source of these negative views, a belief begins to grow that the world and the components of daily-life experiences are negative. The same can be said for events that provoke anxiety, as well as for individual experiences of trauma. Holding these types of thoughts without processing them tends to skew our views on reality and lead to errors in thinking, such as generalizations about how the world should be.

I use a variety of tools to help people: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as other mindfulness-based and evidence-based modalities. _x000

At some point in our lives, we are all challenged by a particular event or ongoing circumstance. Sometimes, the challenge becomes significant enough to impair the way you function. This impairment can show up in your life through anxiety, depression, self-destructive behavior, or another way which diminishes the quality of your life. Whether this has been ongoing for you, or has just begun, my goal is to work with you as a team to rediscover and enhance your coping skills.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

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.

A person's wellbeing can change over time depending on their circumstances. When the demands of life start to exceed our resources and coping, then our mental and physical health can take a toll, feelings of anxiety, stress, sadness and depression can begin to cloud daily experiences and decrease one's sense of joy. I utilize techniques to help alleviate these keeping you grounded in the present, challenge unhelpful thoughts and work on plans for a more hopeful future. I work with adults and teens. I offer a BIPOC & LBGTQ + Safe Place.
