Meet Gracia
I'm a licensed therapist. Most of the people I work with are carrying trauma, anxiety, or old relationship patterns they can't seem to shake on their own.
My work is trauma-informed, which mostly means we don't just chase symptoms. We get curious about what sits underneath the anxiety, the panic, the feeling that you're never quite good enough, and we start there.
We go at your pace. I won't push you somewhere you're not ready to go. A lot of what I do is with trauma and PTSD, with anxiety and panic, and with the way old experiences still shape how you connect with people now. When it fits, I use EMDR, a well-studied way to work through memories that still have a grip on you.
I'm in Rochester and see clients all over Minnesota by video, in English and Vietnamese. You can meet from home, on a lunch break, wherever you actually feel okay talking.
How I see this work
I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy. You set the direction; I help you read the map. We move slowly enough that it never tips into too much, and you decide what is worth getting into and when.
If that is the kind of support you have been after, book a first call and we will see how it feels.
