My name is Grace. I use She/Her pronouns. I have been a therapist for over 20 years. I am happy to join you on your journey and offer the support and help that you need.
I love working with people in general. Most of my experience is with adolescents through adulthood (13 to 64 years old) however this is not a hard and fast rule. Under specific circumstances I can work with younger or older than this range. Reach out and ask questions. I am excited to work with and support all kinds of things. I will try to help you find the right fit if I am not it:
I have a lot of experience and training in working with:
- Self-harm and Chronic Suicidality - Let’s build a life worth living together. I have extensive training with Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open - Dialectic Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
- LGBTQIA2s+ - This community is dear to my heart and supporting transitions or coming out or the struggle of the current political climate is important to me. I have joined with many people in this journey and I am honored by their stories.
- Neuro-divergence - Brains are fascinating. Whether you are diagnosed or not. Curious, exploring, struggling with coping with diagnosis and want to learn. I am here for all of it. I continue to learn from clients and work to apply what adaptations I can from traditional therapies. The research wheels turn slowly and we don’t have the answers yet. Let’s find what works for you.
- “Difficult to treat” “Treatment Resistance ….” Have you been to lots of therapy and struggle to find something that works for you. I hope you will give this a try. I am not a “lay down on the couch and tell me your life story kind of therapist”. I am a skills based, let’s learn together, problem solving interactive therapist. I don’t think that medicine or therapy have all the answers. I am happy to try what I have learned and listen to your feedback.
Striving for research based outcomes!
