Hi! I'm Tracy. I support teens and young adults with anxiety through Art Therapy, Ecotherapy and IFS. Anxiety can manifest socially, internally and externally. Helping you reconnect with your Self energy, your truth, your voice and your goals is my intention. I meet clients where they are at with compassion and curiosity. We will use somatic experiencing to tune into the body's deep wisdom, using IFS to explore internal parts looking for acknowledgement. Many of us are looking to turn down the volume of a Self Critic part, people pleaser part, anxious part or angry part. I often meet clients for hiking or beach sessions!
I use a variety of research-based therapeutic modalities and transpersonal spirituality to work with teens and young adults including Internal Family Systems, CBT, Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing, Art Therapy and Ecotherapy.
I am an Anti-Racist and a trained Gender Affirming Therapist. These labels are important to me as a white, hetero Cis-female. I own my privilege through the intersectionality of my social identities.
