Welcome!

Life can catch you by surprise. One day you’re a young adult with a great creative job and some kids. Then, in a blink of an eye, your kids are grown, and there you are in midlife, an empty nester. You feel a loss of identity. You feel stuck and anxious and that is a really hard place to be. I want to help you to feel empowered to create a life that is true, expressive, rich and exactly the way you want it to be.

Whether you are an individual or couple, I can help. I see therapy as a collaboration. Together we’ll find your strengths and build on them. We’ll work on changing behaviors that may have served you in the past but no longer are. I’m direct but kind, serious but like a laugh and welcome all emotions.  I’m a former creative professional, who comes to this career later in life. I bring a wealth of lived experience with me and have done my own work in therapy to discover that this is exactly where I want to be now. I welcome all people and am gender affirming, body size positive, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ allied. 

Individual
Therapy

You used to love being a creative professional but are exhausted by the constant need to be or do something "new". Or maybe you took a break from working to raise your kids but you're ready to reclaim your own identity. 

Couples
Therapy

You know you love your partner but right now you don't really like them. What happened? You used to have fun together and feel like a team. Life happened.

Teens

There’s a lot of pressure on teens today. So much is expected of them with college looming ahead, the pandemic behind them and the everyday anxiety of trying to fit in.  

Group
Therapy

I created the group Ageism and the Creative Professional to help people experiencing ageism, burn out and the loss of identity that can happen at mid-life. 

"Tracy is the kind of therapist you instantly feel comfortable talking to. Aside from being a skilled clinician, she's warm, genuine and curious about the inner qualities and strengths you may have forgotten you possess. I'm so glad our paths crossed."

"Tracy is gentle, kind, and intuitive. Her ability to create a safe space for her clients is beyond compare. She is masterful in her work and helps clients reach their fullest potential."

Samer Fawaz

M.A., AMFT

"Tracy is a wise and gifted healer with a deep perspective on life and relationships. I've loved collaborating with her in the past and couldn't recommend her enough, especially for clients struggling with age, ageism and life transitions."

Ben Bernstein

M.A., AMFT

I highly recommend Tracy! She has a wealth of insight from her years in the creative world and her genuine care for her clients is naturally felt.
