About Tracy

Hello! My name is Tracy and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who has been working with both youth and adults with various mental health and substance use struggles for over 14 years. I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance-abuse, grief/loss, and low self-worth. I have also expanded my practice to include, couples therapy, embarking on Emotion Focused Couples Therapy Training over the past year. Guiding my practice is a belief that behind these struggles are individuals with unique stories and lived experiences that connect with both suffering and strength. Thus, I strive to create a compassionate and safe space to explore together these experiences and desired change.

I have specific training in and draw from the following counselling modalities: emotion focused therapy for both individuals and couples, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused brief therapy, self compassion, and mindfulness interventions.

Each session I commit to integrating my therapeutic knowledge and skills along with my genuine, warm and empathic nature. I view my role as a counsellor as an absolute privilege and I have maintained both passion and joy for helping others live their preferred lives.
