EMDR Therapists in Tallahassee, FL
I use a collaborative, client-centered approach, incorporating EMDR, mindfulness, and reflective techniques.
Life can feel heavy at times—especially when you’re navigating loss, change, or uncertainty. You may feel stuck between where you’ve been and where you want to be. You might be coping with grief, adjusting to a new phase of life, or simply feeling overwhelmed by emotions you can’t quite name. Deep down, you want relief, understanding, and a sense of balance. As a licensed therapist, my approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I create a safe space to explore what’s happening inside, so that you can find your way forward.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy, in which I incorporate use of mindfulness and meditation.
As a clinician, I strongly believe that each individual is their own expert. When things become complicated, it is often hard to put ourselves in the driver’s seat and take control. Through practice, I hope to help you find that strength within to overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges. My interest in mental health peaked after college, when I worked with a therapeutic recreational program for children. Witnessing others find and develop their own strengths, I saw how empowering this can be, motivating me to continue to be an agent for change.

I am trained in many clinical skills such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT to name a few.
I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry overseas. I have a prior career before becoming a therapist, working about 12 years overseas. My approach blends practical tools with thoughtful conversation, helping you better understand what you’re experiencing while also building strategies you can use in everyday life. I have successfully worked with adults from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faiths.

My work combines EMDR Certification, Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Ego State therapy, somatic techniques, and mindfulness-based approaches to support permanent transformation.
My ideal client has spent time in therapy and gained insight into their history, patterns, or trauma, yet continues to feel stuck. They often understand what has shaped them, but that understanding has not fully brought the sense of relief, regulation, or ease they are seeking. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, functioning well in their lives while holding a great deal internally. They may have complex or longstanding trauma and are now looking for a depth-oriented, integrative approach that gently engages the mind, body, and nervous system, within a collaborative and carefully paced therapeutic relationship.

Hi I'm Grace!
I typically support young adults, adolescents, and families who are navigating anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts.
I love working with people who feel overwhelmed — overthinking everything, shutting down, getting irritable, or stuck in the same patterns. Life, relationships, or responsibilities can suddenly feel heavier than they should, and it’s exhausting to carry alone.
My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and not worry about being judged. Together, we’ll figure out what’s going on and build practical tools so things feel more manageable and less stuck.

To the rest of the world you are a high functioning, successful professional appearing to have it all together. Underneath it all, you are feeling empty, overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out. You can't find time to do the things you love. You're the sort of person who is deeply curious about why you are the way you are. You've done therapy in the past and haven't gotten the positive life changes you desired. You are frustrated that some of the hard things you've been through in the past are showing back up in your life now and you are now ready to release the anxiety from your mind and body and embrace a life filled with joy.

I use CBT and DBT to teach coping skills, EMDR to process trauma, and play therapy with younger children to help them express feelings naturally.
I work with children, teens, and young adults in Tallahassee who are struggling with anxiety, depression, big emotions, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed. Parents often reach out when they’re not sure how to help anymore, and therapy can be a supportive place to start. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.

I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic and somatic approach.
My approach to therapy is a somatic based one. This means I view the mind and body as connected. I help my clients to connect to their bodies and listen to what it is trying to call their attention to, as well to help clients release histories, feelings and energies stored in the body which might be causing us both psychological and physical pain.

I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocess ( EMDR).
Therapy is a journey for every individual. I see my clients as captains while I am their
navigator, helping them reach their destination through a process called change. Obstacles are present in all journeys, but the barriers in each client’s life are so uniquely challenging that they often feel “stuck” or unable to leave the cycle that is creating the problem. As a therapist, I aim to focus on specific emotions and feelings while listening to language and meaning. During sessions, I relate what my client says about their problem to the content of our discussion then use systems theory to construct thoughts about their problems.

I use creativity and humor as well as evidenced-based approaches such as EMDR and CBT to give you tools to navigate life stressors.
"Not all those who wander are lost." Perhaps that quote doesn't resonate with you; perhaps you do feel lost or even stuck. Maybe you don't look like it on the outside; you are functioning "fine". You are responsible and show up in the areas you need to show up, you have dreams and goals, but inside you feel like you are falling apart. It could be racing thoughts, a heaviness you can't shake, feeling trapped by the past, or struggling with identity. I help teens and adults struggling with anxiety and self-confidence, adults with childhood and complex trauma, and Christians wrestling with their faith.

I work with women who struggle with anxious attachment, relationship insecurity, fear of abandonment, or emotional overwhelm in relationships. Many clients I work with feel exhausted by overthinking, ashamed of how reactive they become, or discouraged by repeated unhealthy relationship patterns. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand these patterns and build healthier, more secure relationships.
