clinician

Hi, my name is Grace, and I am excited about the potential of getting to work with you! My journey in this field began when I was in high school, struggling with anxiety, and feeling very alone in that struggle. During that time, I felt compelled to write a book about my story with the hopes of providing comfort to others. In my writing, I discovered my passion for helping people during their most vulnerable times. I went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of New Hampshire and my master’s in social work degree at the University of New England. I have previously worked at a youth mentoring program as well as assisted at a horse farm that provided equine facilitated psychotherapy. I found my place at Mindful Body Therapy and Wellness starting as an intern and am thrilled to still be here providing individual therapy as a clinician.

I am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and adults learn how to lead a more fulfilling life. I enjoy working with burnt-out perfectionists, those struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem/self-worth, obsessive compulsive disorder, relationships, and life transitions. I also have specialized experience in supporting people in recovery from eating disorders. I particularly enjoy working with college-age and post grads who are exploring their transition into adulthood as well as individuals facing grief/loss of a pet.

My priority in therapy is to create an honest relationship through humor and compassion. I aim to create an authentic, approachable, and collaborative space that honors the individual and promotes healing. I consider myself a client-centered, strengths-based, and Health at Every Size (HAES) clinician. I view each individual through a holistic lens to best hear your story and understand what shapes your experience. With that foundation, we can utilize your strengths to help you create the positive changes you are seeking.

Therapy can be hard, but I will show up for you as my authentic self and work alongside you to help achieve your goals. I would love to connect with you to discuss how we can work together. It takes courage to reach out for help, and I hope I can be the right fit for you.

I look forward to connecting!
