When the demands of our lives grow to fast, our mental health takes a back seat. I work with patients to find a place of calm in their every day life, to help heal from anxiety, trauma, depression and other negative associations. We will work together to understand how the past and present intersects; and build new coping skills to heal from past trauma, and find new ways to navigate life. I have 13 years experience that directs my practice, in that time I've learned building a therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change. I focus our time to get to know you and your goals then we can create change. I specialize in healing from traumatic pasts, disconnecting from unhealthy relationships, learning new ways to build relationships and establishing safety in our own lives. I use my background in understanding attachment and trauma to help you navigate to a space of safety. I use She/her pronouns. I am currently only open for messaging based clients.

Mental Wellness Specialties: GriefSelf esteemCareer difficultiesCoaching
15 years offering treatment
I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with the cancer community, grief and loss, as well as providing empowerment and support to those looking to make intentional progress towards life / career goals. As a cancer survivor myself, adjusting to a diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. Not only are their physical side effects, but often emotional and relational effects as well. Additionally, grief and/or loss is difficult. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, as grief is unique to each individual. All too often do many suffer in silence. If you are looking for support to help navigate the waters, I can help. I also enjoy assisting individuals with setting intentions and making forward steps to meeting their goals. If you are looking for a change, but are not sure where to start, I can also help you organize your efforts, provide resources, relieve stress, ease tension and afford a safe space to problem solve through education, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivation and humor. My clients receive education and training in mindfulness skills, relaxation practices, decision-making, mood management, and interpersonal effectiveness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Greetings, I am glad you are here today. My name is Grace and I have been a clinical social worker for more then 9 years. I use the pronouns her/she. My clinical experience is in a hospital setting, I have worked with a variety of people (age 5 to 90) with an equally vast range of issues and disorders. I enjoy hearing from people who identify with in the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone from the iGen / Gen Z. I always strive to meet my clients with compassion and respect, regardless of age, skin color, or identification. As we navigate our own path in life, it can be scary, lonely, with the footing unknown. I want to help you traverse your challenges, whatever they may be. Before pursuing a career as a clinical social worker, my passion and work experience is in fine arts. I have faced those challenges of forging your own path when everyone around you offers nothing but obstacles. After obtaining my dream career (comic illustrator) I found that my dream job was not the same as having a dream life. I am fortunate that I was able to explore my other strengths, and found a career in “being the person I wish I had” in my life growing up. Do you struggle making yourself and your needs a priority? Are you living each day to the fullest? Are you letting go of the past and not fearing the future? Are you learning to like and love yourself? Struggling to break a toxic cycle? Have you always wanted to allow yourself to be you? Do you have dreams you're afraid to follow? It's time to let go of what is holding you back, and weight down your heart and spirit. Working from a client centered approach, I utilize many expressive creative art therapies, including zendoodle, zen journal, sand tray, drawing, painting, clay (and more) alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Practices (DBT). I believe that therapy is for anyone who would like to developing new thought patterns, increasing your healthy coping skill, discarding your old beliefs about yourself, and gaining awareness of your internal and external resources. Don't waste another precious day being miserable or unhappy, its time to allow yourself to be free and find joy. If you don't like something, then change it so you do. Life is too short and too precious to waste it to fear, past hurt, or unhappiness. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, distance running, and hiking. I have three cats, and two rabbits. Others would describe me as kind, gentle, and a meme expert. I worked as a fine artist before I became a therapist. I know first hand the grief we place upon ourselves when we live our lives according to the needs and wants of others. We can't change yesterday, but we still have the power to navigate tomorrow. “You have to get a little lost on your way to being found.” Pronouns: she/her
