Welcome to a safe space for healing and growth. I'm Tracie, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed psychotherapist committed to supporting adults on their journey toward recovery and empowerment. With a wealth of experience in mental health, I specialize in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact that past experiences can have on our present lives. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a deep commitment to fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust. I believe in the strength and resilience inherent in each individual.

My passion as a therapist is to help individuals, parents, and children explore their challenges, from either the present or past. When clients are self-motivated to apply methods and skills whether for themselves or their family, positive transformation will happen! If you want to learn positive parenting skills, teach children the value of self-esteem, or identify behaviors and maladapted attachments, all of this is talk-able and worthy of investing your time and energy. I am here to listen and help dissolve trauma from childhood or social-emotional experiences in order to regain a healthy and happy life!

It takes courage to seek therapy, yet it’s one of the most helpful forms of self-care when life becomes overwhelming. My goal is to normalize the process and create safety & support for self-exploration and relational attunement. I work with couples, families and relationships. Therapy is like turning on lights and finding guard rails when everything feels dark and uncertain. It can provide a map and offer loving presence &compassion in difficult moments. It empowers YOU to step fully into an empowered life with humility, courage, & connection with the parts of yourself and with others.

Do you find yourself struggling with negative self-talk? Do you avoid difficult conversations? Is constant worry causing you to be indecisive? Do you suspect that your challenging past is interfering with your present life? Our brains and bodies can get stuck in anxious states and maladaptive patterns that can significantly impact our relationships, leisure time, and professional lives. I will work closely with you to challenge your negative self-beliefs, teach you psychological skills, and use trauma-focused therapy techniques to create inner peace. Your life CAN feel better and easier, sooner than you think.

As a psychologist, I aim to help you heal the relationships that matter most, including how you relate to yourself. I work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. Perhaps you are looking at your child or adolescent and are confused by their behavior or at a loss for how to help them. Maybe you or an important relationship in your life is suffering and you feel stuck. Whatever challenges you are facing, my goal is to meet you with empathy and the fundamental belief that each of us is doing the best we can with the resources we have available to us in any given moment.

Life can be hectic and stressful- relationship issues, childhood trauma, depression and anxiety can make things seem unbearable at times. I believe we all have the capacity to heal ourselves with the right guidance and support. Being a therapist is a calling and a gift- it is my purpose to help those around me find their inner strength and take the steps to live their absolute best life! Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment is of utmost importance to me- I want to ensure that all of my clients feel that they belong and are seen, heard and valued for exactly who they are.

One of my favorite quotes is from Einstein when he stated that "we cannot solve our problems by the same mind that created them." Many problems are the result of faulty thinking that arises from a history of abuse, low self esteem, and difficult relationships. My goal is to help you become free of the emotional and mental conditioning that keeps you stuck in old patterns that don't work in your life. I work with adults, teens and couples to help them learn to live in joy rather than suffering.

Every woman is unique! My strength is to help you find your own voice so you can make decisions about your life, especially when the emotional terrain is muddy.

Sometimes these challenges may leave you feeling worried, scared, or confused and needing a non-judgmental space to make sense of what has happened. Whether you are a daughter, student, wife, mother, or grandmother going through life transitions or major changes, I’m here to help!

Sometimes we have struggles from our past that are making it difficult to cope with our daily lives. You may be thinking, “Nothing that bad happened in my childhood, others have had it much worse than I did”. Your experiences are valid and can cause a variety of symptoms, including anxiety and depression. It may feel overwhelming to experience all these emotions on your own, therapy can help to bridge that gap into achieving your goals. My approach is influenced by the client-centered theory, you are the expert in your life and I will be there listen and support.

You want to feel content and self-assured but inside you are struggling with second guessing yourself or feeling stuck, feeling out of control and powerless. Maybe you are feeling that something, deep down, could be wrong with you. Or maybe you are frustrated, resentful and angry at being misunderstood or unappreciated. Do you feel like no matter how hard you try to be the person you are “supposed to be” it’s never enough? You might feel like giving up because you are tired of trying to improve your life, but keep repeating the patterns that make you feel like you will never measure up.

Journeys Counseling provides professional psychotherapy, vibrant living coaching, and spiritual direction to the community. Our work is interdenominational, serving clients from many different backgrounds, including those who have little or no religious affiliation. As a Christian organization we believe counseling should address the whole person and be respectful of people’s faith. Individual’s beliefs are both an important part of their lives and a valuable resource when experiencing distress. Counseling should assist in developing those resources further. Often, people lack support systems that help deal with personal problems.

As an "elder", I understand the vulnerabilities and anxieties that can arise due to the aging process. As a former counselor for active duty military around the world, I have a deep appreciation for the issues and sacrifices that are made by military families. Both elders and military families deal with change, loss and grief more than the average person. Yet these are issues that we will all eventually have to face. Learning to more gracefully move through these transitions is an opportunity for deeper emotional, psychological and spiritual growth. These challenges can become the medicine for your spirit and soul.
