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. At the heart of her work is the belief that healing happens through relationships. As a therapist, she uses Attachment Theory to understand how early life experiences shape the ways people connect—with others and with themselves. Whether supporting an individual struggling with self-worth, a teen navigating life’s challenges, a couple facing relationship difficulties, or a family working through conflict, she strives to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

A Therapeutic Approach Rooted in Connection: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) & Beyond

Grace’s primary approach is Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which supports clients in identifying, processing, and reshaping their emotional responses. By working through difficult emotions in a safe and supportive space, her clients develop healthier communication patterns, deeper emotional connections, and greater self-awareness. For those who benefit from additional structure, she also integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to offer practical coping tools.

A Commitment to Healing & Growth

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where we work together to uncover patterns that no longer serve you and build new, healthier ways of relating. My goal is to help you move toward lasting change by deepening your understanding of yourself and your relationships. I recognize that accessing painful emotions and experiences is often a challenging journey. I am committed to creating a space where your story can be deeply seen and witnessed so you may release the constrained patterns that no longer serve your growth and healing.
