What other therapists want you to know about Grace 

Grace is a clinician who mixes insight with humor and compassion. She is someone I look up to and constantly learn from.

William Li, Therapist

Grace is one of the most thoughtful and diligent clinicians I’ve had the pleasure of meeting during our time as colleagues at Northwestern University. She holds space beautifully and prioritizes leaning into her epistemic curiosity, not only to expand her perspectives but also to refine her skills as a supportive and effective therapist. Her ability to empathize and be present with others makes her an exquisite companion for folks in all walks of life.

Kimmy Wu, Therapist

Grace is a deeply compassionate and skilled clinician whose gentle presence and intentional approach create a safe, healing space for meaningful growth. Her unique ability to blend clinical expertise with genuine empathy makes her a wonderful support for anyone seeking authentic, lasting change. Clients working with Grace can expect a thoughtful, affirming presence that honors their lived experiences while guiding them toward healing and deeper sense of purpose.

Madeleine Lawrence, Therapist

Grace is one of those clinicians you’re genuinely grateful to encounter. She brings a rare mix of deep clinical insight, creative care planning, and unwavering empathy to every client she supports. Her ability to conceptualize cases around binge eating, body image, and self-worth is consistently thoughtful, nuanced, and grounded in relational attunement. Grace also has a steady, clear-eyed way of joining both clinical rigor and real empathy and humanity. She’s the kind of therapist you’d trust with people you care about, and the kind of colleague who makes you a better clinician just by being in the room.
