I love working with other members of the LGBTQIA community, especially regarding identity (sexual orientation, gender identity, life stage, ways of defining your worth, etc.), healing attachment wounds, values alignment, processing/feeling repressed emotions, and self- acceptance.
Hi, I'm Grace! And I'm a lesbian, neurodivergent, trans-affirming therapist! I may be a good fit for you if:
You struggle with aspects of your identity (gender, sexuality, life stage, ways of defining worth, etc.).
You often feel as if you are “not enough” & don’t measure up to those around you.
You have trouble expressing, processing, or regulating emotion, perhaps due to past contexts in which you didn’t feel safe to do so.
You can sometimes be really mean to yourself.
You find yourself pushing away the “hard stuff”.
You want to build self-awareness to understand your inner world on a deeper level.

While my training has focused intensely on DBT, CBT, and ACT skills, every individual is different and may require different therapeutic skills that can be discussed!
Life rarely slows down for very long. You may be navigating a serious personal crisis that feels overwhelming, or you may be a high-functioning professional managing burnout and daily stress. My practice is here to help with both: I can help assist with stabilization for the heavy moments and actionable strategies for the everyday ones.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you achieve, your anxiety, stress, or burnout never lets up? Perfectionism, overthinking, or past trauma may leave you tense, stuck, or constantly on edge.

You want to thrive without being trapped by overwhelm, worry, or patterns that keep you from feeling truly present and maybe even laugh a little along the way.

We look for what is unspoken- tone, body language, and the pauses between words. What once was a protective mechanism has now become one of my greatest strengths as Lead Therapist & Owner, noticing patterns & narratives, and creating space where people feel seen, never judged. We especially well with young adults learning to trust their own rhythms. Together, we explore how the body and mind communicate—those swings between feeling “on” and completely shut down—and find a steadier middle ground. We learn about nervous system states and heal the shame with education and validation. Our therapy is rooted in self-awareness and balance.

I provide therapy through a person-centered approach that incorporates interventions from various theories and methodologies.

I guide clients in examining thoughts, feelings, and actions to gain insights, develop healthy coping skills, and make meaning from life experiences. I integrate your strengths and spiritual beliefs to address your needs holistically.

I enjoy understanding people’s life stories and how those experiences shape who they are and how they connect. In couples therapy, I bring curiosity to each partner’s inner world and to the space between them—including the emotional, relational, and sexual dynamics that make up a couple’s bond.
My goal is to build a trusting relationship where both partners feel safe to explore what hasn’t yet been fully understood—within themselves and within the relationship. I help couples put words to complex experiences and make sense of the impact of their past, their pain, their fears, and their unmet needs—individually and together.

Do you feel your life is lacking meaning and fulfillment? Are you feeling unmotivated and low energy, making it difficult to get what you want out of your life? Do you often feel anxious and distracted? These symptoms are common and natural to feel in the fast paced and productivity-driven world that we live in, but this does not have to be our reality. In gaining awareness into our internal narratives, behaviors, and thoughts we can learn how to challenge these unhealthy patterns of being by connecting to what it is that we value and find meaningful in our lives.
