Hey, I‘m Grace (she/her)

Creating a nurturing and secure environment is at the core of my therapeutic approach, where I aim to foster a collaborative relationship with youth and their families to navigate the healing journey together. Specializing in working with young individuals facing a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), self-esteem issues, self-harm tendencies, and thoughts of suicide, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support tailored to their unique needs.

Embracing a holistic perspective, I believe in addressing mental health concerns by considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. By integrating evidence-based practices into my work, I strive to empower children, adolescents, and families to cultivate essential skills centered on self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth.

Through a blend of therapeutic modalities and interventions, I aim to equip young individuals with practical tools to navigate their emotions, build resilience, and enhance their overall well-being. By encouraging self-exploration and fostering a sense of empowerment, my goal is to guide youth towards developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

In our collaborative journey, we will work together to uncover strengths, address challenges, and cultivate a supportive environment that promotes growth and healing. By emphasizing self-awareness, self-compassion, and skill development, I strive to empower youth and families to navigate life's complexities with confidence and resilience. Together, we can embark on a transformative path towards emotional wellness and personal development. Remember, seeking support is a courageous step towards creating positive change in your life.

Beyond my work

I am an avid reader who enjoys spending most of my time devouring new books.
