About
Therapy with Grace
I am not the stare-in-silence and nod type of therapist. I appreciate therapy for the real talk, the quiet realizations, and the space to breathe away from everyday life. My goal in therapy is to hold space while also challenging you to uncover parts about yourself that have remained unseen. By giving those parts of yourself a little bit of spotlight in the therapy room, they help you gain insight to make change in your everyday life. Together we acknowledge the heaviness that life can bring while also acknowledging that finding joy (even the small wins) is an act of self-care.
My Background
I have a passion for accessibility to quality mental healthcare resources. I am currently an LGPC in the state of Maryland. I completed my undergraduate degree at Creighton University in Omaha, NE, (Roll Jays!) with a double major is psychology and business administration. I landed in Maryland for my master's program at Towson University in Clinical Psychology. Between undergraduate and graduate school, I have participated on various research and case management projects but found a passion for trauma-informed clinical work.

Our Story
Many struggle alone and never get help for their mental health. It can be incredibly isolating, stressful, and anxiety-provoking to talk about everything going on in your brain while trying to navigate your everyday life. Today's world is working to destigmatize mental health and we want to be a stepping stone in your personal journey. Campsen Wellness was named after several loved ones who inspired a passion for helping others and normalizing conversations around mental health.
Campsen was created to aid the lifelong learners, the overthinkers, and the deep-feelers of the world. We aim to provide multiple high-quality and evidence-based services in an effort to provide individuals a central location to engage on a journey towards wellness. It can be daunting to begin the journey towards wellness.

Campsen Values
At Campsen, our vision is to provide trauma-informed mental health resources to all. Our mission is to create a world of people with more curiosity, kindness, and insight. ​
Our Commitment to Multicultural Humility
At Campsen Wellness, we are committed to multicultural humility - recognizing that cultural awareness is an ongoing process rather than a fixed skill. We recognize and appreciate the unique identities of every client that comes through the door. We are committed to lifelong learning about multiculturalism, recognizing intersectionality, reflecting on biases, and improving the well-being of our community.
When moments of difference or disconnection arise, we approach them with compassion, self-reflection, education, and a shared commitment to doing better together. We believe that growth happens through curiosity and open dialogue, and we strive to create a space where both understanding and learning can take place.
We aim to make our spaces healing, safe, and restorative.
Outside of Therapy
As many of her current clients already know, Grace spends a lot of time with her beloved dog Lottie who has yet to pass her therapy dog certification. Grace and Lottie love to go on hikes and walks until Lottie says she's done by lying on the ground. When she's not spending time with Lottie, she enjoys a good book, baking (current obsession is sourdough), traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
