Hello and welcome! I'm Grace, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. With over two decades of experience in mental health and career counseling, my passion lies in helping you gain a fresh perspective and develop the skills needed to thrive both personally and professionally. In my 50s and having been married for 25 years with an adult son, I understand the complexities of various life issues. My life journey has taken me across continents, having lived almost equally in Asia and the US, which has given me a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and the challenges of adapting to new environments. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in a collaborative and strengths-based approach. I believe you are the expert of your own story and possess inherent strengths that can help you overcome life's challenges. My role is to support and guide you in harnessing these strengths to achieve your goals and find fulfillment. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with depression, grief and bereavement, multicultural and diversity issues, intimate and romantic relationships, somatic symptom disorder, spirituality, stress, trauma, life transitions, family relationships, and anxiety. Whether you're navigating life changes, experiencing mental distress, or seeking support in your interpersonal relationships or professional life, I'm here to offer unwavering support. I am enthusiastic about working with people from diverse backgrounds and committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all my clients. Together, we will work towards your mental well-being and personal growth. Outside of my professional life, I cherish my family and the rich experiences of living in different cultures. These experiences have shaped my understanding and empathy, which I bring into my counseling practice.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey to mental well-being.
Warmest regards,
Grace

I don’t have enough words to emphasize how much Grace helped me. She supported me endlessly through the highs and lows, always checking in on me. She listens so attentively and will even repeat things back to you just to make sure she is hearing your correctly. She is constantly providing both advice, validation, and challenges to help me grow as an individual. She has helped me find the best version of myself. I cannot recommend her enough! I appreciate you, Grace!

Grace is a true professional. I love that she gave practical advise and I never felt judged. She always checked in when I was away for too long, but was respectful of my time and space. She provided guidance and tools that I know will be useful beyond our sessions.
Thank you!
