Hi! I'm Grace.
Life can feel like stumbling around in the dark - you're triggered by things you don't understand, you react in ways you don't like, and you know deep down that things aren't lining up but you're not sure why. I'm here to help you better understand yourself, heal from past hurts, and have healthy, thriving relationships.
Therapy For People Who Want Answers
Individuals:
-
You're capable and driven in so many areas of life, but deep down you know you're making decisions out of fear.
-
You find that you don't like the way you react to things--it just happens before you can stop it.
-
You have a hard time saying no, and you often put others' needs before your own. You feel spread too thin and it leaves you feeling resentful.
-
You long for closer relationships, yet you're uneasy when people get too close.
Couples:

You weren't modeled a healthy relationship growing up so you feel utterly lost in how to have one.

Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries feels foreign and even at times "mean."

You swore you would never be like your parents, yet you find yourself talking and acting like them in the worst ways.

You're tired of arguments that get you nowhere and leave you feeling defeated.
-
You want intimacy and trust, but you fear conflict so you don't know how to have honest conversations anymore.
