No two people are the same and it is my goal to help you recognize your own unique strengths, integrating a case-specific approach to create your unique therapy plan. I am here to offer mental health support in a non-judgemental, friendly, and compassionate space.

I incorporate themes from Art and Music Therapy as I believe creative expression can be critical for those who struggle with expressing emotions and thoughts with words.
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers along with the British Columbia College of Social Workers. My education includes an Honours Bachelor of Social Work from Lakehead University and a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia Okanagan. I work with Youth and young adults aged approximately 14-30 on topics of substance misuse and recovery, relationships, family challenges, life changes/transitions, stress, ADHD, and anxiety. Some other areas of specialization are Depression, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Self-esteem.

You may be insightful, capable, and emotionally aware—and still feel stuck. Talking helps, but it hasn’t reached everything. Many people I work with sense something deeper asking for attention, held in the body or nervous system, or in feelings and images beyond words. In a world marked by uncertainty, stress, and collective challenges, this is common. I support thoughtful adults, including neurodivergent folks, people living with trauma or chronic stress, and women in midlife (inclusive of trans and non-binary people). If you’re seeking a gentler, generative, creative, more meaningful way forward, you may feel at home here

I'm Tracy, I help adults reconnect to self, body and what really matters. My approach is evidence-based, practical, and tailored entirely to you. Some clients need to work from the body up, regulating the nervous system and processing what talking alone cannot reach. Some need to resolve what is stored in the brain: memories, beliefs, and patterns that have become neurologically stuck. Others need to dismantle patterns cognitively or build new behaviours, and practice different responses in their daily lives. Most need some combination of all three.

Life has difficult seasons and at times there appears to be no rays of sunshine penatrating the dark clouds surrounding us. It is in these times, especially, we often ask the difficult questions like, "why God?" Will these hard-aches ever stop? Can positive change occur? It has been my personal experience through walking in seasons of darkness that light does continually shine but the heartache and pain often blocks our senses and even our faith gets tested beyond what we believe is sustainable. My goal as a counsellor is to encourage my clients to continue to seek practical and spiritual insight and watch how our eternal God moves.

I believe that each of us is capable of much more than we are aware, and that being seen and supported can shine light on the innate wisdom and strength within.

I use an integrative approach pulling from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory.

How does music therapy work?
A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.
What are some common music therapy techniques?
Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.
How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.
How long does music therapy take?
Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
