Hi, I'm Gracie. Have you been thinking about therapy for a while? Are you in need of someone who will listen to you and assist you in finding your own answers? Do you desire to learn more about yourself? You have come to the right place! I walk with you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. I empower you to make the changes you want to see in your life while assisting you to find the authentic you who may have been put behind closed doors for safe keeping. We will incorporate conversation, art, music, and movement to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you want to work on self-improvement or work on concurring depression and anxiety, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and scary. You are making the right choice. In our time together, I will meet you with compassion and creativity so you can overcome the obstacles holding you back from living life. Let's work together! You deserve all that life can offer.
Therapy can bring up a lot of things for people. The first session will touch on your life history and what is going on in the present day. The follow up sessions will be about helping you to move forward in your life and heal the wounds. After a while in therapy, a sense that things have shifted and a greater knowledge of what your self needs are will be present. You will be able to identify and have those needs met.
I utilize psychodynamic therapy intertwined with art and music to assist you on your journey. Psychodynamic therapy involves assisting you see what is behind the problems you face by giving you a better understanding of your unconscious feelings, thoughts, and past experiences. This helps you to make better choices and feel better long-term. Psychodynamic therapy has been proven to effectively help people dealing with depression, anxiety, paing, and relationship issues. Psychodynamic therapy can strengthen your self-understanding to break self-defeating cycles, help you address issues of avoidance, and improve your understanding of relationship dynamics. One of the biggest benefits of psychodynamic therapy is that it continues to help you long after therapy has ended.
I work well with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use a variety of tools/skills to assist in working through those struggles. I have worked with people who have had varying degrees of dissociation due to trauma.
