Hi, I'm Grace, and I'm so glad you're here.

I believe therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where we can build a genuine connection and work together toward meaningful change.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 6 years. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, children, veterans, and victims of crime. My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and family systems. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.

I have been practicing therapy for over 15 years. I graduated from San Diego State in 2005 and have helped people work through problems ranging from anxiety and depression, to relationship and health problems. I have worked in residential and intensive outpatient programs but for the past 5 years I have been providing therapy through Telehealth. Mostly I have found people to be astounding in their strength and resiliency and have greatly enjoyed being part of their growth process.

Psychologist

Virtual • Los Angeles, CA


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Applied Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School and a master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I provide individual therapy to adults from a culturally informed and collaborative perspective. My clinical experience includes providing individual therapy and psychological assessments to children, adolescents, and adults across community mental health and group practice settings. I work with individuals with a variety of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relational difficulties, identity challenges, stress management concerns, and cultural and ethnic issues.

Before entering the mental health field, I worked in community-based roles within the nonprofit and education sectors, including three years working with children and families in Kuwait. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and foster an accepting, adaptable therapeutic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs.
