LPC, 10 years of experience
I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. Having faced my own mental health challenges and found real growth through therapy, I understand how powerful support can be. My style is honest and compassionate—I believe in meeting you where you are, listening closely, and working together to create meaningful change. I want to know what brought you here and walk alongside you as you move toward greater balance and well-being.
Welcome! Choosing to prioritize your mental and emotional health is a meaningful first step. In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and exploring what you’d like to achieve. I see these early meetings as a two-way conversation—you’re making sure I’m a good fit for you, and I’m learning how best to support you. Opening up can feel both overwhelming and freeing, and it’s natural if the connection doesn’t click right away. Please feel comfortable sharing how you’re feeling about the process. Once we confirm we’re a good fit and clarify your goals, we’ll break them into manageable steps and find ways for you to see and feel your progress. Over time, we’ll revisit those goals, celebrate growth, and address new concerns as they arise. Ultimately, my goal is to help you build the skills, insight, and support you need so you can maintain these positive changes confidently on your own.
I believe every person’s story is unique—even when experiences appear similar, their impact is deeply personal. My strength lies in helping clients turn those experiences into meaningful growth by creating goals that are specific, realistic, and strength-focused, so progress feels clear and measurable. I also help clients shift their relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions—learning to notice and accept them without judgment—so they can move toward what truly matters with greater flexibility and resilience.
I work best with individuals and families who feel weighed down by the demands of daily life—whether it’s job stress, household responsibilities, strained relationships, or financial worries. Anxiety, overwhelm, and avoidance can make these challenges feel even heavier. Together, we’ll explore those feelings without judgment, using approaches like CBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy to understand their roots and develop practical ways to manage them. My goal is to help you accept your emotions, build on your strengths, and create small, realistic changes that lead to lasting relief and balance.
I often begin with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts and feelings shape actions and choices. From there, I integrate other approaches—such as solution-focused, person-centered, and strength-based strategies—to tailor treatment to your needs. Together, we’ll create realistic, attainable goals and build the tools to make meaningful changes that last.
Life is complex, and one path rarely fits all. I take an eclectic approach—helping you understand your needs and drawing from a blend of therapeutic tools, skills, and interventions tailored to your goals. Together we’ll explore what works best for you, using your strengths as a foundation and uncovering new ones along the way to create lasting, meaningful change.
For over 10 years, I’ve supported families navigating the daily challenges of caregiving and child-rearing while balancing relationships and self-care. I help parents and caregivers address children’s mental and behavioral health needs while also tending to their own well-being—because caring for yourself is key to caring for others. Depending on each family’s goals, we’ll explore how the family system functions, strengthen communication and healthy dynamics through psychoeducation, and build on existing strengths to create positive, lasting change.
In my work with individuals, youth, and families, I often meet people who feel defined by their problems or struggles. While it’s important to address challenges, it’s equally vital to uncover and build on personal strengths. A strength-based approach focuses on identifying the abilities and resources you already possess, helping you see your value and use those strengths—sometimes in small, practical ways—to create meaningful change and growth in the areas that matter most.

Grace is so great, I have been seeing her for about 5 months now and she has really helped me work through a lot problems within all areas of my life (Work/home life/family/friend issues). She makes me feel heard, validated, and continuously provides realistic solutions/goals to work towards. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a down to earth, real therapist who truly wants what's not only best for you, but wants you to be the best version of yourself.
