Welcome! I’m so happy you are here. My name is Grace, and I am a holistic integrative psychotherapist working with clients in Texas and Massachusetts.

I specialize in working adults who are navigating high anxiety, obsessive thinking, perfectionism/overachieving, self-confidence concerns, family/relationship conflicts, and behavioral issues, such as impulsivity or emotion dysregulation. Additionally, I specialize in working with clients navigating relationship and dating concerns and those desiring to find a long term partner. I take an integrative approach, pulling from a variety of models to best fit your needs. I am completely invested in motivating individuals to challenge negative thinking, end negative behavioral patterns and embrace their true potential. I work best with those who desire the skills to cope with life's challenges, are motivated to see change in their life, and fully understand that we create our lives.

My expertise is in integrative holistic psychotherapy where my primary focus is to combine behavioral, psychodynamic and spiritual practices to create a treatment plan best fit for you. I pull from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT) and transpersonal (spiritual) psychology. My supportive, hands-on style is designed to assist you in building a toolbox of skills to take with you in creating the life you desire that aligns with your values.

Much of my work incorporates a spiritual or values-based perspective, which I have found helps us better understand our emotional and physical experience and helps us find clarity on what has meaning in our lives.

For my training, I earned my MSW degree at Columbia University in New York and then participated in a post-graduate fellowship in behavioral medicine at Boston Behavioral Medicine in Massachusetts to further my expertise. While I was there, I also founded the DBT Skills Group Program, which I now manage from afar. Following that fellowship, I further honed my skills through joining a teaching team at Harvard Extension School in the I/O Psychology Department.

If my style and expertise sound aligned with your needs and goals or if have any questions, please reach out to me using the contact form here.
