Hi, my name is Tracey, and I have been practicing for over 20 years. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Personality Disorders, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, families and young adults for the duration of my career, and I have enjoyed working with LGBT clients for the last ten years. In addition, I have done faith based counseling per client request. Each of these groups of people has unique needs and strengths, and I try to make sure their treatment plans reflect that. I typically use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ERP - Exposure and Response Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic Client Centered Therapy and Family Therapies. I have used certified therapy dogs in my practice for the last 15 years, and I have enjoyed seeing so many clients benefit from animal assisted therapy. Most of my therapy dogs have been labradors or golden retrievers, and they have all been rescued. Outside of work I enjoy reading, yard work, home improvement projects, thrifting, hiking, and visiting the beach. I learn just as much from my clients as I have from my professional education and training. In fact, I am humbled and grateful to have gone along the therapy journey with so many clients.
