Grace's therapeutic approach is highly personalized, integrating innovative and research based techniques to help clients achieve powerful change. Her passion is to utilize heart-centered work grounded in knowledge and experience.
She believes one of the most profound determinants to how we experience our lives is how we feel about ourselves (our sense of worthiness) and how we feel towards ourselves (our capacity for self-compassion).
Whether you are dealing with life transitions, stress, processing to release past trauma, relationship or mental health issues, her intention is to offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space to explore your feelings while building resilience for navigating life’s challenges and changes.
Grace provides therapy with an open and affirming approach, recognizing and celebrating the unique perspectives and strengths of all individuals.
the Practitioner
the Practice
Grace has particular skills and experience working with people who are marginalized due to their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. She has a deep understanding of the lifelong challenges that society presents for LGBTQ individuals and the unique ways these issues play out in one’s self-acceptance, self-love, relationships with family and friends, and relationships with significant others.
She works from and understands social and systemic trauma inflicted on LGBTQ people and is able to help them deepen their understanding of who they are, increase their self-love, and lessen the internalized devaluing of self resulting from social and systemic trauma.
