About Tracie
She draws on experience from work across several states and settings, including time supporting service members and veterans. That background shapes how she talks about stress, transition, and compassion fatigue. Tracie listens for what matters most, then helps people set manageable goals and small changes they can try between sessions.
Tracie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques in ways that fit each person. She coaches people to notice thoughts and behaviors, practice emotion regulation skills, and build routines that support recovery and resilience. Sessions emphasize clear strategies and steady progress rather than labels.
Her approach is collaborative - clients decide priorities and the pace of work. She aims to reduce shame, clarify values, and strengthen coping skills for everyday life. That includes addressing sleep, eating, relationship patterns, and substance use when they show up.
People considering counseling are invited to complete the platform’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. The initial step is to share what feels most urgent, and Tracie will help shape a plan that fits the person’s goals and situation.
