Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Grand Junction, CO

As your Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. You can trust that I am fully committed to your well-being and dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.

Something positive, warm, and uplifting about me as your PMHNP is that I genuinely believe in your strength and resilience. I see your potential for growth and healing, even during the toughest of times. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges.

I work with adults (18+) navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed and deeply compassionate, grounded in the belief that healing unfolds through connection, trust, and nervous system safety. Drawing from the principles of Polyvagal Theory, I support clients in understanding how their autonomic responses are adaptive and rooted in the body’s innate drive for protection. Together, we work to gently restore a sense of regulation, safety, and connection. I tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs by integrating a variety of modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed), somatic therapy, person-centered and psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices.

I hold specialized training in ADHD treatment and am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. My advanced clinical training includes EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training (Parts 1 & 2), Advanced EMDR Skills Training through the Trauma Therapist Institute, Foundations of Internal Family Systems Therapy, IFS-informed EMDR, Embodied Healing for Developmental Trauma, and specialized OCD trainings. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to creating a safe, inclusive space for all identities.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a background in trauma-informed care, neurodivergence, and complex relational dynamics. I work primarily with adults and older teens who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, or exhausted from holding it all together.

My work is informed by training in Brainspotting, DBT, OCD, attachment-based therapy, and somatic approaches, alongside traditional talk therapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, ADHD, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+, emotional regulation, and relationship stress. I also work with clients navigating burnout, life transitions, and the long-term impact of childhood or relational trauma.

I value therapy that is honest, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, and I tailor my work to each client’s needs, capacity, and goals.

I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.

Hi, I’m Tracy, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 22 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. I provide compassionate, individualized treatment for children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, life transitions and other mental health illnesses. I have a passion for supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and social isolation.

I take a holistic, patient centered approach to care, which means I look beyond just the symptoms. I consider the whole person, mind, body, and spirit because I believe true healing comes from addressing every part of who we are. That might include medication, lifestyle changes, therapy support, or simply having a safe space to talk and be heard. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan here; together, we’ll find what works best for you.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing from Jacksonville University and completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatry at St. Thomas University. I’m currently working toward my Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) at St. Thomas University, which allows me to stay up to date with the latest research and continue improving how I serve my clients.

Over the years, I’ve worked in inpatient hospitals, outpatient settings, and telehealth environments, giving me a broad understanding of how mental health shows up in different stages and spaces of life. No matter where you are on your journey, my goal is to meet you with empathy, honesty, and a genuine desire to help.

If you're looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your mental health and take steps toward healing, I'm here for you. Let’s work towards getting your life back and navigating your future. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk with you through it.
