“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.”

Being a person is hard. Managing demands of work or school, relationships, family, life changes, and finances all while trying to take care of your heart, mind, body, and soul can feel impossible. It's even harder when you constantly feel anxious, overstimulated, or down and depressed with little relief. On top of this, we often carry the unhelpful narratives from past experiences with us through our daily life. If you resonate with any of these challenges, you are not alone, and I am hopeful there are options to help you feel better.

My name is Grace and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have worked in the mental health field since 2017, and obtained my Master of Social Work from George Fox University in 2019 where I received a blend of clinical and social justice focused education. Since then, I have been providing mental health therapy for adults with a wide range of mental health challenges. I currently specialize in supporting individuals who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, and life changes, as well as compassion fatigue and burnout related to helping professions.

I provide a safe space for clients to process experiences of both the past and present that impact well-being. I am passionate about biopsychosocial-spiritual health. My approach is strengths-based, culturally-sensitive, intersectional, and trauma-informed. I incorporate a variety of evidence-based tools related to mindfulness, acceptance, and nervous system regulation in my practice. I am also trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is different than talk-therapy and is most well-known for the treatment of PTSD, though it can also be used for a variety of other mental health problems.  

I know starting therapy is vulnerable and can be a difficult process. I also acknowledge it usually takes time to build trust! Rest assured that I will meet you with compassion and empathy, no matter what your story is. Please call our office or fill out the form below if you would like to schedule an appointment with me. I look forward to meeting you!
