More About
Gracie builds a strong connection with her clients through honoring each person’s unique and often complex experiences. Her approach to therapy is grounded in psychodynamic and Jungian traditions. She has a special interest in supporting those with depression, anxiety, dissociative issues, and trauma. Gracie is interested in using art as part of healing and dabbles in painting, drawing, rock art, and clay work. Gracie believes art can lead to healing when we allow ourselves to let the paint or charcoal go where it wants on the page. Gracie has found that giving up control over the art is the first step to letting go and moving forward in life.
Gracie holds an MA in counseling psychology from Holy Names University. She is currently pursuing a PsyD in clinical psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Gracie has been working as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist since 2015. She a wide range of experience with providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.
