Hi, I’m Grace

I help anxious, overwhelmed women (and other adults) manage the stress that makes life feel exhausting.

If reaching out feels hard or you’re worried you are “being dramatic” or “should be able to handle it”—that’s okay. No matter what, you deserve to feel better, be understood and find peace.

I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space where you don’t have to have it all together and where you can reconnect with the person you want to be.

Black Magnolia Counseling Services is rooted in the values of compassion, acceptance and inclusivity. Therapy should always be a space where all individuals feel safe, seen, respected, and valued.

Therapy for when you can’t control everything

At Black Magnolia Counseling, I provide a supportive space for individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and negative self-talk. Many of the people I work with describe themselves as appearing to be managing everything on the outside, yet inside, they are feeling lost. They feel overwhelmed by high expectations, the chaos of managing so many responsibilities and the constant questioning if they are ever good enough.

Whether it is overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism or carrying the mental load for yourself and others, it quickly can become exhausting. This weight can become heavier when there are poor boundaries, unhelpful ways to cope or challenges like undiagnosed ADHD or ASD. Together, these issues make it difficult to feel good - constantly striving for control, never slowing down and being stuck in a learned but unhealthy response to this ongoing pressure.

I am passionate about supporting clients who are tired of feeling like they have to keep it all together all the time. I help clients slow down, tune in, and start making sense of what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll look at these patterns you experience with curiosity, rather than judgement. Together, we will help you make sense of why they’re happening, develop practical tools, and create a more balanced, sustainable way of moving through life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or tired of constantly pushing through, therapy can be a place to pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself. If you’re ready to move out of chaos mode and toward a life that feels more clear and intentional, I invite you to reach out today.
