Hi, I am Tracy.

I am a psychotherapist, artist and art instructor.

I work from the firmly rooted belief that all people make sense, that all of our patterns have a purpose, and that, more often than not, that purpose is to protect ourselves. But why do these strategies sometimes feel like they are getting in the way of what we want or need? Together, we will bring curiosity and compassion to this question while adapting new strategies as we reorganize ourselves and our relationships.

My work is grounded in recent neuroscience, which understands the body, brain, and nervous system’s capacity to change over time and at any time in the lifespan. I work from neuro-affirming and trauma-informed approaches that are relational, embodied, and creative. All while making sense of you, not what is wrong with you.

I work with both individuals and couples, in person and virtually.

I can support you with:
 

  • neurodivergence (individuals and couples)

  • sensory profile mapping

  • early attachment wounding

  • identity and self-connection

  • relationship dynamics (individuals and couples)

  • sexuality

  • perinatal support 

  • parenting and co-parenting

  • grief and loss
