Grace earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Merrimack College and is currently on track to complete her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2027,
also at Merrimack College. Following the completion of her bachelor’s degree, Grace worked in a psychiatric hospital as a Mental Health Technician, where she supported individuals experiencing mental health challenges across the lifespan. Her clinical experience includes working with acute children (ages 4–12), acute adolescents (ages 13–18), residential adolescent girls, and acute adults (ages 18+).
Grace is deeply committed to creating an empathic, nonjudgmental, and safe therapeutic space, and she approaches each session with warmth, curiosity, and respect for the individual’s lived experience.
Grace also has extensive experience working with neuro divergent individuals and individuals with disabilities. During her first year in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling
program, she served as a Graduate Fellow in Merrimack College’s Accessibility Services. In this role, she coached, advocated for, and collaborated with students, adapting support strategies to meet each student’s unique needs.
In her free time, Grace enjoys spending time with her three dogs: Pippi (a red husky), Denali (an American Pit Bull Terrier), and Everest (a Bernese Mountain Dog). She can often be found curled up with a good mystery novel, with Freida McFadden currently being her favorite author.
