Background and approach
Over two decades she has worked in many clinical settings and in leadership roles. Her practice often addresses addictions and related issues, including codependency and drug and alcohol addiction. She also helps people facing depression, family and relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
Anxiety is a common reason people come to see her. Sessions mix talk therapy with practical skills. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and learn new habits.
Mindfulness and acceptance work help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed. Grace adapts her approach to each person's needs and goals. She prefers clear plans that fit daily life, and she offers ways to practice between sessions.
The focus is on steady, manageable steps toward better coping and clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based action. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that increase stress or low mood. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps make therapy practical and relevant to everyday demands.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone is a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or shorter exchanges between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
