About me

I am a self-motivated and progress-driven Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. With an extensive background in Nursing, Organizational Management, and Small Business management. Over the years, I have been driven by core values to become an essential agent of change.
MY experience comes from providing individual and group counseling for teenagers, kids, and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including LGBT-related issues, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, domestic violence, and sex trafficking. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
My work experiences have allowed me to strengthen my abilities as a therapeutic trauma-informed therapist, Leadership, and crisis intervention.
I approach therapeutic relationships with multi-cultural sensitivity. Most of my clinical experience includes working with youth and adults Africa-America, Asian- America, Hispanic, and African. I make it a priority to learn all I can to improve what I know and what I can offer to my clients. I think this is one of the personal attributes that set me apart.
My Therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness,
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage, and I am proud of you for starting to work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here to support and empower you if you are ready to take the step.

The sessions have been very helpful in my self journey. I appreciate her attentiveness and willingness to help me navigate my anger and my insecurities.

Grace is a spectacular therapist. The more I open up to her, the more I love our conversations. When I need someone to talk with, she's willing. When I need to ask for insight into my own issues, she is a most welcoming guide.

Grace is a very kind and personable therapist that makes me feel safe and comfortable while still being objective while listening to my stories and problems

Written on Jan 05, 2024 after therapy with Grace for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, anger management, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Grace is great at pivoting during sessions from one intense subject like childhood trauma, job search, and questioning parenthood. I highly recommend her as she helps provide guidance on grounding in the moment, reframing negative talk, and digging deep to the why.

Ms. Grace was a wonderful therapist and I see myself working with her again through Faithful counseling. She was my first therapist and It was a 10/10 experience.
