Hi there, I'm Grace!

As a dual-certified FNP-BC and PMHNP-BC with a DNP and PhD, I offer expert care for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and complex mood disorders. I also specialize in treating substance and alcohol use, sleep/insomnia, stress, and chronic illness. Let’s build a personalized plan to help you reclaim your well-being.

My focus

I believe in a holistic, "whole-person" approach. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape negative thoughts, Motivational Interviewing to inspire change, and Person-Centered therapy to ensure you are always the lead architect of your care. My goal is to provide practical tools that create lasting mental wellness.

My approach

I partner with minors and adults navigating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and psychosis. Having a background in family medicine, I'm uniquely comfortable supporting those managing dual diagnoses or the mental toll of chronic medical illness. Whether you need help with sleep, stress, or complex medications, I'm here to support your journey.
