She/her pronouns

Grace fully embraces and celebrates the differences between individuals, and takes an individually tailored approach to every client she works with. Her previous experience working in an equine-based therapy program and as a behavioural support worker taught her the importance of creating space for unique needs and meeting people exactly where they are with gentleness and compassion. In sessions, Grace is amazing at finding a balance between helping you organize and make concrete plans to move forward, while still holding space for you to feel and process your emotions.

In her work and her life she is empathetic, warm, and patient and hopes to make others feel welcome and safe. Grace looks forward to collaboratively working together to help you navigate this difficult period of your life and to reach your goals.
