A person who provides therapy for adults

You like being the one friends and family go to for help but sometimes it feels like you’re drowning under the weight of other’s needs and asks. Your phone is filled with unread texts and unanswered calls. Once again, you’ve committed to too many things. Your friends often call you flaky but they don’t understand how much effort goes into crafting the perfect text message.

Find relief from the overwhelming feeling that you aren’t good enough.

I specialize in perfectionism therapy to help you let go of anxiety and take control of your life again.

Hi! I’m Grace

If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re ready to make some changes in your life. Maybe you’re struggling to form deep and meaningful relationships. Maybe you’re tired of constantly making to-do lists but never finishing them. Or maybe you’re tired of being plagued by indecision and self-doubt. As a licensed professional counselor, I’ll help you let go of perfectionism, people pleasing and other related anxieties.

I’m a perfectionist therapist who loves working with high achievers, anxious college students and overwhelmed adults. I started this practice because I was tired of therapy spaces that were sterile, cold and desperately lacking in any personality. I believe therapy is the best gift you can give yourself. You are worth the time, effort and investment. 

My Treatment Approach

Individual Counseling

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured and action-oriented approach to therapy designed to help you develop a healthier outlook. CBT is effective in identifying triggers and managing stress. After CBT, you can feel less anxious and relaxed in your daily life.

Psychotherapy

Commonly referred to as talk therapy, this counseling approach helps people uncover meanings and motifs behind the way they think and feel.
