Hi! I'm Tracy! I specialize in teens and pre-teens navigating anxiety, depression, and the impacts of trauma by using Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Art Therapy. I bring extensive experience supporting youth through peer relationships, family dynamics, school crises, and major life disruptions. I focus on helping young people and parents feel safer, more connected, and more confident in daily life. I value close collaboration with schools and medical providers and strive to offer practical, compassionate care that supports both emotional healing and real-world functioning.
Over the years, I’ve seen how stress, trauma, and big life transitions don’t just live in our thoughts — they live in our bodies, shaping how safe, confident, and connected we feel. Somatic therapy gives me a way to help clients slow down, listen to their nervous systems, and build a sense of calm and strength from the inside out.
I believe healing happens best in a space that feels warm, collaborative, and safe, where people can be themselves without judgment. My goal is to help each client reconnect with their own inner resources, develop greater emotional balance, and move forward with more confidence and ease in their lives.
