Are you looking for ways to be in control of your eating? Do you feel like overeating causes more stress than it solves? You know what’s healthy, but being consistent when you’re overwhelmed and exhausted... Hi, I’m Tracie, I specialize in helping women break the cycle of emotional eating and eating disorders. Food problems aren’t solved with healthy eating. They’re sparked by stress and need solutions that give you skills that last. I can help you with strategies that put you in control. You deserve a therapist who’s specially trained with a proven 25 year track record of solving emotional eating and eating disorders for good!

Ideally, I try to create a comfortable environment so that the client can feel a connection. I realize that one of the hardest things to do as a person, is to admit that you need to talk a problem through with someone outside of your circle of family and friends. When meeting with the client, I try to distinguish where they are and go above and beyond to make the therapeutic process a success.

Are you ready to find the best version of yourself? I specialize in working with clients to overcome traumatic experiences, anxiety and life transitions by creating a safe, nurturing environment. My goal is to help you explore past experiences and understand how they impact the way you respond to life today. By using a variety of treatment modalities, ranging from EMDR, traditional talk therapy and more expressive forms of therapy, you will overcome obstacles in a way that feels comfortable. Your journey is unique; therefore, treatment is tailored to your needs.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

You're here because you've tried talking to friends and family; you've tried self-help books and podcasts; you've tried meditation and exercise…you’ve maybe even tried therapy before. You've tried to do it alone. And yet, here you are still struggling with anxiety or your mood; struggling with your relationships; struggling as a parent; struggling in your profession, your sport or your craft. Your worries don’t stop, you imagine the worst, somehow you never feel good enough no matter what you accomplish. You are not alone! More importantly, it’s not your fault! I have been there as have all of my clients.

Your treatment has a beginning, middle & end. I am trained and certified in many of the latest breakthrough treatments including EMDR and Brainspotting. I use these modalities because I have found them to be the most effective. The field of psychotherapy has come a long way since it began. We now know that it doesn't have to take as long as previously believed for permanent healing and change to take place. The term "neuroplasticity" refers to the brain's ability to change and rewire itself at any age or stage of life. Too often, clients participate in years of talk therapy and medication management without results.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) in practice for nearly twenty years, I have had the opportunity and privilege to work collaboratively with clients to help them develop greater insight into their relationships, communication patterns, and limiting narratives. For more than a decade I have worked in private practice. Previously, I have had experience working in an intensive outpatient program (IOP), school setting, and community mental health agency. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from The University of Michigan and a Master of Social Work degree from the National Catholic School of Social Service.

Over the past 20 years, I've had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents. In the last 10 years I've increased my scope to include young and older adults. Anxiety, depression, trauma and other behavioral challenges have made up the majority of my work. In each of these situations a strength-based, goal-centric and client-empowered approach has yielded success. In my experience my clients have simply wanted to feel better about their place in life while re-learning to hope once again. My work in schools and in practice have taught me that my success begins from a place of genuine care for my client's well-being.
