LCSW, 3 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisville, Kentucky. I received my Masters from the University of Kentucky and have been practicing for 4 years. I help adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life stressors and trauma. I strive to provide a safe environment for you to be able to talk about experiences and situations that are bothering you. This means there is no judgement! If there are ever 3 appointments cancelled or no-showed in a row, unfortunately, I would be forced to close per attendance policy. If I am unable to see you within a 30-day period, I would also be forced to close. I will remind you of these policies, but I just wanted to be honest.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then we will talk about some of the challenges you are facing. This will help me get an idea of what we can work on together in future sessions.
Having worked with adolescents and young adults for the past 4 years, I have found that I am able to help clients identify stressors and partner with them to create a plan that that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with teenagers and young adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression. This population could be struggling with stress at home or at school or they could be working on transitioning into adulthood. Sometimes it helps just to have someone to talk to outside of family and friends.
I have been utilizing CBT in practice for the past 2.5 years. I have helped clients challenge and reframe their anxious, depressed and self-blaming thoughts. We will use CBT to determine how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other and how that impacts your life.
I have been utilizing psychoeducation in practice for the past 2.5 years. I have helped educate clients on their symptoms of anxiety and depression and provided resources to help them manage their symptoms.
I have been utilizing motivational interviewing in practice for the past 2.5 years. I have used open ended questions, validation and reflective listening to better understand each client's experiences.

Grace is one of the realist therapists I have ever been able to work with. She constantly brings the session back to my needs and isn't afraid to call me out. I appreciate working with her so much.

Absolutely love her, I always feel heard when I talk to her. She always wants to help and figure out what my issue is when I’m not sure myself some days. She great to talk with and is funny and warm hearted. I never feel judgment when talking to her and I feel like I can say whatever I need/want to.
