Hello! I’m Grace, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) dedicated to supporting children and families through life’s challenges.
I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents in school-based and clinical settings. I specialize in helping kids navigate anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, social difficulties, and life transitions. I’ve worked closely with students, parents, and teachers, so I understand how to support the whole child—both emotionally and within their daily environments.
My approach is warm, patient, and engaging. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with each child so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Through a mix of conversation, play-based techniques, and skill-building activities, I help children learn how to express their feelings, manage emotions, and build confidence.
I also believe that parents are an essential part of the process. I collaborate closely with caregivers, offering support, insight, and practical strategies to help your child thrive both at home and at school.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate, experienced, and committed to helping your child grow, I would be honored to support your family.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
