About Tracy
PHILOSOPHY
Most people seek counseling to find relief from pain and suffering. I believe counseling provides much more - not only a way to move away from suffering, but a way to move towards personal growth and discovering new possibilities. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside another in their journey towards healing and wholeness, while providing the safety of confidentiality and professional competency.
Repeatedly, I am told that I cause people to feel accepted and comfortable opening up and sharing their lives and concerns. I can remember talking about wanting to be a counselor since I was a child... since I understood what it meant. I am very happy to say that it has brought me more joy than expected to see this hope come into fruition. I love my job! My own personal experiences have richly added to any education that I have obtained in this field. I know what it's like to wrestle with difficult circumstances and really work on yourself as an individual. I hope to share in the journey with you.
