Our team of therapists use evidence-based strategies and play to support healing, growth, and teach new skills to cope with tough emotions.

Experience

Grace is a licensed associate marriage and family therapist. She enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families with various problems, from anxiety, depression, self-esteem, family/sibling relational issues, parent-child relational and attachment issues, grief and loss, and significant life transitions. She primarily utilizes experiential modalities, such as emotion-focused therapy, which harnesses the power of emotion to guide clients toward positive change. In addition, she also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients along their journeys. She believes in taking a client-centered approach, honoring her clients in their personhood, and meeting them where they are.

A Therapeutic Approach Rooted in Connection

In therapy, Grace believes that the foundation for creating positive change is the therapeutic relationship. Grace works to act as a co-explorer in her client's journey towards growth and healing. She values creating a safe space where her clients feel heard, seen, and understood as they bravely face the pain and hurt that leads to their liberation and growth.
