Hi, I’m Grace!
Therapist and Practice Owner
As a recovering intellectualizer, I've learned to feel my feelings (& not just think about them). I used to be the "cool girl" who didn't care about anything. Turns out, I was actually just super avoidant (lol). I learned I did care about things— very deeply, actually— and that it’s okay to care and have big feelings.
As a second-generation immigrant, I have an appreciation for the challenges (& beautiful joys!) that come with being a woman of color.
When I'm not in session or on my yoga mat, you can find me hiking, camping, connecting with nature… and probably dancing barefoot in the grass! I love diving deep in understanding human existence and beyond.
What continues to draw me to this work is witnessing people soften into themselves—letting go of the pressure to hold it all together, and beginning to trust their own intuition again. It would be an honor to witness your process.
On my own journey,
“Healing begins with presence— being fully with what is happening inside.”
— Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother’s Hands
I work relationally and draw from somatic therapies, parts work, and ACT. Read more about these here.
At the center of my work is the relationship between us. I’m not a passive listener—I’m actively engaged in the process. I’ll reflect what I notice, track patterns with you in real time, and offer honest feedback when it feels helpful.
In sessions, we slow things down enough to notice what’s happening beneath the surface—your thoughts, your emotional responses, and how your nervous system is organizing in the present moment. From there, we work with what’s actually here, rather than just trying to analyze or fix it.
Over time, this helps create real shifts in how you relate to yourself and others—not just insight, but lived change in your patterns, choices, and relationships.
I’m direct and honest, I won’t just nod along silently for the entire session. Clients describe me as grounding + playful. I’m easy-going and don’t take life too seriously! I believe in the healing power of laughter and shared emotions.
We’ll laugh, dance, cry, and journey through all the beautiful emotions together, nurturing your spirit along the way.
My approach:
my values:
collective liberation, compassion, safety, self-agency, community, curiosity, and embodiment
I often work with people who experience:
🌿 overthinking, intellectualizing, or ruminating thoughts
🌸 anxious or avoidant patterns in relationships
🍃 emotional numbness or disconnection
🌾 burnout, fatigue, or stress-related symptoms
🌲 relational trauma / emotionally neglectful childhoods
🌊 struggling to trust yourself or fully show up in relationships
🌻 a desire to move beyond insight and into embodied change
Take a breath and notice what stirs in you. If your heart or body is saying yes — trust that. You don’t have to be “ready,” just willing to begin.
If something inside you is curious, hopeful, or just tired of going it alone — I’m here, when you’re ready.
