Hi, I’m Gracie! I earned my master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. I like to view therapy as a collaborative partnership to identify challenges, develop strategies, and achieve positive mental health outcomes. As a Licensed Social Worker, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and uncover their strengths. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and strengths-based interventions to create a personalized plan that meets your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, foster self-compassion, and help you feel empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

I understand the heartbreak, frustration, and overwhelming emotions that can accompany infertility and perinatal challenges. As someone who has personally walked this path, I know the physical and emotional toll and impact it can have on every aspect of your life.

You're not alone.

As a Social Worker and Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I offer a compassionate and understanding space for you to explore your experiences, process your emotions, and find ways to cope and create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, perinatal challenges, addiction, or are on your fertility journey, my approach is trauma-informed and inclusive. I utilize evidence-based practices, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy, to help you heal and build resilience.

Together, we can navigate these challenges, honor your journey, and create a path toward hope and healing.
