There’s a story behind the name Lime Tree Therapy. 🍃
The day I decided to officially launch my practice, I walked into my backyard and noticed a small lime just starting to bud on my tree. I hadn’t seen it before. The timing caught me off guard in a way that felt meaningful, like something quietly beginning at the same moment I was choosing to begin, too.
I think a lot about what it means to be rooted. Trees hold their ground through changing conditions, growing in ways we don’t always see right away. That kind of steady, grounded presence is something I come back to often in my work. As a restorative justice healing circle facilitator, I'm also drawn to that which is circular. The shape of the fruit, the cycles we move through, the way we return to ourselves and to each other over time.
Limes are sharp, sour, not always what people reach for first. But sour doesn’t mean bad. It can be transformed into something rich, something that brings everything else into balance. In my office, we make space for all of it. The sour, the painful, the tender, the sweet. None of it stands alone, and none of it is unwelcome.
These photos feel like part of that story: a beginning, a first fruit, and something made with care. 🍋🟩 🌿
