Technology & Mental Health

I believe our relationship with technology is fundamentally a psychological relationship. The platforms we use, the feeds we scroll, the notifications we receive are not neutral tools. They shape how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we understand what it means to live a good life.

My work in this area explores how digital life affects identity formation, attachment patterns, and the capacity for sustained attention and deep connection. I'm interested in the paradox of feeling both hyper-connected and profoundly alone, and what that tells us about human needs in the digital age.

Key questions I explore:

  • How do social media platforms influence self-esteem, comparison, and identity?
  • What happens to attention, memory, and presence in a world of constant distraction?
  • Can technology be designed to support rather than undermine psychological well-being?
  • How do we maintain authentic connection in mediated spaces?

AI Ethics & Human Experience

Artificial intelligence is not just a technical challenge. It's a psychological, philosophical, and deeply human one. As AI systems become more sophisticated, persuasive, and integrated into daily life, we need to ask not just what they can do, but what they should do, and what they do to us.

I bring a psychotherapist's lens to questions of AI ethics: How does algorithmic decision-making affect agency and autonomy? What happens to trust, authenticity, and meaning when we can't distinguish human from machine? How do we preserve what's essential about being human in an age of intelligent machines?

Key questions I explore:

  • How do AI companions and chatbots affect our capacity for human relationship?
  • What are the psychological implications of algorithmic personalization and persuasion?
  • How do we maintain agency, autonomy, and critical thinking in AI-mediated environments?
  • What ethical frameworks should guide the development of AI systems that interact with vulnerable populations?

Cultural Narrative & Identity

The stories we tell ourselves, individually and collectively, shape the lives we're able to live. As a therapist, I've seen how changing the narrative can change everything: how someone sees their past, their possibilities, their sense of who they are and who they can become.

But we don't create these narratives in a vacuum. They're influenced by culture, media, politics, and technology. I'm interested in how cultural scripts about success, happiness, gender, identity, and mental health constrain or expand what feels possible, and how we can become more conscious authors of our own stories.

Key questions I explore:

  • How do cultural narratives about mental health and therapy influence help-seeking behavior?
  • What stories do we tell about success, and who gets left out of them?
  • How can we challenge dominant narratives that limit identity and possibility?
  • What role does media representation play in shaping self-concept and aspiration?

Clinical Practice

At the heart of all my work is the practice of psychotherapy. I work with individuals navigating the complexities of modern life: relationship struggles, career transitions, identity questions, anxiety, depression, and the search for meaning and connection.

My clinical approach is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and narrative therapy traditions. I believe therapy is both a science and an art, a space where insight, emotion, and relationship come together to create the possibility of change.

Clinical specializations include:

  • Young adults navigating identity, career, and relationship formation
  • Professionals in tech and creative fields managing burnout and purpose
  • Individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-worth
  • Those seeking to understand the impact of family, culture, and narrative on current life

Grace is currently accepting new clients on a limited basis. Please inquire for availability.
