Hi there, I'm Grace!

I am an LMFT with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health practices. I am committed to helping families and individuals overcome life's struggles and challenges in a collaborative manner. I am experienced in assisting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma-related issues, family conflict, work-related stressors, and relational conflicts.

My focus

The focus of my clientele is adolescents, adults, and families. Helping families and individuals overcome life's struggles and challenges in a collaborative manner. I am experienced in assisting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma-related issues, family conflicts, work-related stressors, and relational conflicts.

My approach

Using a whole-person approach, collaboratively, we will explore tools to help with solutions to the needs presented. I offer a brief solution approach and prefer to focus on the here and now. Common theoretical tools and interventions that will be used include Solution-focused therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My communication style

Clients are made to feel comfortable upon entry into therapy. Collaboratively, we will identify areas that need change or growth. Empowering clients to actively participate in their own sessions and confronting negative thoughts and beliefs fueling the symptoms identified.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people struggling with mental health issues, relational conflicts, and other stressors inhibiting the ability to function at an optimum level in their daily lives. I have had the privilege of working with clients with various mental health issues, relational conflict issues.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is building trust and collaboratively working with you by focusing on the issues presented in the session, and choosing achievable and realistic paths to making change.

Our first session

Clients should expect a safe and supportive therapeutic environment that can foster the exploration of mental health issues and other problems that are causing distress in life's pursuit. Clients will be provided an overview of what to expect during each therapy session, limitations of confidentiality, and goal setting.
