A Bit About Me

 Over the past 12 years, my background has consisted of working with various demographics, such as individuals, at-risk youth, and families in residential, shelters, foster care, schools, military, community, and home settings. I have counseled pre-marital/marriage and divorce. I utilize integrative therapeutic modalities and settings in individual, family, and group therapy in combination with Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Client-Centered approaches. I am trained in Seeking Safety (SS), which is a model that helps individuals struggling with co-occurring disorders (trauma, substance abuse, etc). Tracey has worked with clients who have experienced PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and anger issues.

​

My belief is that the chief cornerstone of working with individuals and families collaboratively is to change patterns of thinking and behaviors. In a session, she will provide you with a professional and safe environment for your needs and overall wellness while encouraging you to take steps and become “unstuck”. I specialize in working with individuals aged 16 and older, recognizing the importance of tailored mental health care for young adults and families.

​

I am a Christian and I use biblical principles in combination with evidenced-based counseling techniques during my sessions. I have a PhD in Psychology, Doctorate in Biblical Studies and I am a Certified Chaplain/Dover.
