A young woman with wavy, light brown hair and a bright smile, sitting on a beige armchair in a cozy, well-lit room. She is wearing a cream-colored sweater and black pants. In the background, there is a dark wall, a tall green plant in a white pot, a table lamp with a patterned red and gold base and a white shade, and a wooden side table with books and decorative items.

Grace helps young adult and adult women in Nashville navigate anxiety, grief, identity, and life transitions with warmth and curiosity. She’s especially drawn to supporting women and young adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed, helping them reconnect with themselves in honest and hopeful ways. Additionally, Grace also works with couples and families navigating relational stress in addition to providing premarital counseling. As an EMDR-trained therapist, Grace cultivates a therapeutic space that feels grounding and authentic while also uncovering old wounds and patterns. Her style is collaborative and gentle, inviting clients to bring their full selves, even the parts that feel hard to hold, and move toward greater clarity, self-trust, and peace.

 FAQs

you have questions, we have answers

  • Grace primarily works with young adult women, couples, and families. Grace aims to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs.

  • Finding the right therapist is about feeling safe, understood, and supported. Many clients tell Grace they’re looking for a therapist who feels warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. If you’re hoping for a space where you can show up as you are, move at your own pace, and work toward meaningful change together, you may be a good fit to work with Grace.

  • Not at all. Many clients begin therapy because something just feels off, overwhelming, or confusing. Counseling can be a space to explore emotions, patterns, and life experiences, even if you don’t yet have clear words for what you’re going through.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, needs, and life circumstances. Some clients come to therapy for short-term support during a specific life transition, while others choose longer-term counseling for deeper self-exploration. You and Grace will check in along the way to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful.
