Trauma Therapist for Adults
EMDR-Trained and Safe and Sound Protocol Certified Therapist
You remember a time when fear, disconnection, and the aftermath of trauma weren’t the “norm”… but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You are not alone.
We've created space for you.
Ready to start living with a renewed sense of safety and joy?
I’m Tracy, and I help individuals just like you: ones that have it within them to reclaim their lives from the shadows of trauma, but just need the right support to get there.
I help my clients find empowerment, peace, and connection by equipping them with the tools they need to heal and grow beyond their experiences. Many of today’s solutions for trauma therapy are standardized and impersonal, leading so many to feel like they’re on an endless journey without real progress. I know that your circumstances are unique, so every step we take is tailored to you, with your safety and healing as our constant goals.
First, we explore the impacts of trauma on your life and identify the areas where you feel most stuck. This understanding is crucial for shaping our journey together. Then, we integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol, considering your unique needs and goals. These modalities are not just about coping but are aimed at deeply understanding and transforming your relationship with trauma.
Through our work together, you’ll not only start to feel more secure and connected with yourself and others, but you’ll also be equipped with a profound understanding of your trauma and how to navigate life with resilience and strength. Let’s embark on this healing journey together, creating a path towards a life filled with safety, connection, and fulfillment.

Safe and Sound Protocol Therapist
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their path to reclaiming their sense of safety and connection after trauma. While my training in areas such as EMDR and the Safe and Sound Protocol equips me with the technical expertise necessary for trauma therapy, it is my personal journey through significant trauma that truly informs my practice. This experience not only deepens my understanding but also amplifies my empathy and dedication to those I serve.
But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who genuinely understands what it’s like to be an individual grappling with the aftermath of trauma, right? I get it because I’ve been there. My own path through healing has taught me the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of empathetic, informed therapy.

TRAUMA THERAPY
Betrayal Trauma
Betrayal trauma can shatter your sense of trust and security. I offer compassionate, targeted support to help you navigate these deep wounds. Using EMDR and somatic approaches, we’ll work to heal the emotional pain, rebuild self-worth, and restore a sense of safety within yourself and your relationships.
TRAUMA THERAPY
Nervous System Reguatlation
Trauma can dysregulate your nervous system, leaving you feeling constantly on edge. I utilize somatic approaches, including the Safe and Sound Protocol, to help you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and regain a sense of balance. Together, we’ll work toward restoring your inner peace and resilience.
I understand the days when moving forward feels impossible, and the incredible courage it takes to even begin addressing your trauma. This unique blend of professional training and personal insight means that when we work together, you’re not just gaining a therapist; you’re connecting with someone who truly gets the intricacies of your struggle. You'll receive not only the most current, evidence-based therapeutic interventions but also the understanding and compassion that can only come from someone who has navigated the very same path to healing.
I am dedicated to guiding you through your journey of healing and empowerment after trauma.
