My goal as your therapist is to be able to help you move through the difficulties that you are facing. I strive to be someone who is non-judgemental and caring throughout every interaction. I enjoy working with clients who have various backgrounds and experiences, including mental health and substance abuse. I have worked in a psychiatric hosptial as well as a recovery center, where recovery and progress were the main goals. I have gained a lot of real-life experiences and learned a lot of lessons from the clients that I have had the pleasure to interact with. I believe that all clients have knowledge to be shared with me.

Hi, it’s Marie. I’m here to help. I understand the vulnerability of what it is like to face new challenges whether it be personal or professional. As a military spouse and clinician, I’ve had my share of this cycle over the past 20 years. My journey has been both challenging and remarkably rewarding. I welcomed both whole-heartedly because they each helped my growth as a person, a wife, parent, friend, colleague, and in my profession.

For a total of 8 years, I’ve been happy to educate and assist my clients with eliminating unhealthy patterns, alleviating daily life stressors, enhancing emotional regulation, improving self-worth, navigating complexities of intimate partner/domestic abuse, family and other relationship dynamics, and trauma (I completed EMDR basic training in 2026, which offers me an additional trauma-informed orientation). I utilize integrated evidenced based approaches in my work.

Taking the initial step to participate in therapy may take all the courage and motivation you have within you. Let’s start there, and we will work together to navigate the landing to a space of what I call R.E.S.T. (Restoration, Empowerment, Stability, Tranquility) for you.

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, recovery, suicidal ideation, and domestic violence. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused approaches. I also integrate modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to meet each client where they are.

I believe reaching out for support is a meaningful first step toward creating positive change. As a warm, compassionate, and welcoming counselor, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self and feel empowered throughout the counseling process. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Grace has been providing mental health care in Nashville since 2017.

She has since transitioned to outpatient practice, where she provides medication management and compassionate, individualized care to adults across Tennessee through telehealth. Grace takes a warm, collaborative approach to care and believes in taking the time to understand what is really contributing to a person’s symptoms rather than simply treating the diagnosis. She works with clients to find thoughtful, practical treatment options that fit their needs, preferences, and goals.
