About me

Hey there, Friend, I'm Grace.

​

As a counseling client myself, I enjoy EPT much more than traditional talk therapy since it gets to root of the matter quickly. I come away from each session with insights and resolution, feeling better and lighter. EPT work has helped me get through some major life changes and removed blockages in dozens of smaller areas too. 

​

I’ve lived a spectrum of American "churchianity" from conservative evangelical nationalism to wildly charismatic and prophetic, with some close associations with Catholics too. I’ve been hurt by the religious system, and I know that sadly I’ve hurt others. I’ve had years of being at church 2-3 times a week, and then years of not attending at all when I withdrew to re-evaluate. Throughout my adult life, I’ve pursued the understanding of both mental/emotional healing and spiritual/mystical experiences. (It’s pretty hard to get too "woo" for me, but feel free to try!) My background means that if you have church trauma, you won’t have to explain church culture and traditions to me - I get it. My training gives me the tools to help you heal and move forward, whether your issues stem from #churchhurt, family, or elsewhere. My peace with God allows you to have your own faith expression that doesn’t have to look like mine. 

​

What I offer is to be your companion and coach for this part of your journey. I can hold space for you as you acknowledge and process the painful, confusing experiences that brought you here. I can help remove the barriers that keep you from feeling loved just as you are. I can help you learn to trust yourself again. I can offer you nonjudgmental love, acceptance, and support - what Gabor Mate calls "unconditional high regard." 

​

We always work with your goals - how you want to feel, who you want to be. My goals are to help you reconnect to your true self, to others in healthy relationships, and to a loving God.
