LMFT, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Grace, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides support for individuals and families. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, identity, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, stress management, trauma, and life transitions. I am passionate about creating a collaborative relationship to support and empower people to achieve their goals and strengthen their innate resilience.
In our first session, you’ll be met with warmth and curiosity. I intend to get to know you - your story, your hopes, your needs, and your goals - and for you to get a sense of how I work.
I pride myself in being an empathic listener with efficient communication skills devoted to providing and implementing effective evidenced based treatment modalities. I’ve helped individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with a proven process to help you identify the root causes of your challenges and develop a personalized plan that leads to meaningful, measurable change.
I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating life challenges. Those who have a desire to discover themselves, explore and heal past wounds in a way that offers deeper connection to one’s values, priorities, and well-being. I am committed to helping people learn how to cope and grow from life’s obstacles in a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain valuable insights, and develop strategies for creating positive change.
