Hello, my name is Tracey! I have worked in the field of social work for over 10 years and in the field as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for 5 years. I provide compassionate and effective therapy to help clients meet their goals. I specialize in working with moms in all stages of motherhood struggling with anxiety and depression. I am committed to providing you with the tools you need to build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.

Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. I’m direct, a little sarcastic, and I use humor to make the hard stuff easier to talk about. I believe in meeting you where you are—whether you’re navigating a major life transition, working through past trauma, or just trying to figure out why everything feels overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.
