Background

My career began in 2014 as a social worker, providing therapeutic services in schools, inpatient, and in-home therapy settings. After completing my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, I worked in various therapeutic inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and children.

I started Grierson Counseling in 2018 to best meet the community's needs and promote wellness for those seeking counseling services. While I continue to see clients with diverse therapeutic goals, my practice specializes in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders, such as hoarding disorder, body-focused repetitive behavior (skin picking, hair pulling), phobias, and anxiety.

In addition to being a counselor, I am passionate about training mental health providers in the field. I am an adjunct instructor in graduate counseling programs at two universities. I also provide clinical supervision for counselors and offer consultation for professionals working with OCD and related disorders.

I enjoy presenting in my local community to promote awareness of evidence-based practices for conditions such as OCD. Additionally, I conduct research and write articles aimed at improving understanding of these topics and reducing stigma in the mental health field.

On a personal note, I enjoy running, traveling, hiking, and spending time outdoors with my husband and our two pugs.
