I help adults as they heal from grief and loss, anxiety and depression, family-of-origin/reparenting the inner child, and navigate life and career transitions. My style is curious, compassionate, comprehensive with a good sense of humor who will "nudge" at times to help facilitate growth. Making changes, even healthy ones, can be hard and uncomfortable but the "growing pains" are worth it.
Using Cognitive-Behaviorial Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Therapy, I appreciate that each person is unique and is more than simply what has happened to them. It is a true honor to be a part of my clients' Life's journeys as they have the courage to move toward wholeness.
With a unique specialty in pet loss, I’ve developed and facilitated pet loss support groups for animal shelter and veterinary hospital staff and clients as well as traveled nationally to co-facilitate workshops on compassion fatigue for animal shelter staff and animal control officers. My published articles have been featured in various magazines and on “The Signal,” a Baltimore NPR program as an expert on pet loss.
As a former psychology and sociology instructor, I loved teaching my students about how the human brain, body, and behavior all work together to make us who we are. My professional highlight and honor was receiving the The Excellence in Teaching Award from National Society of Leadership & Success from the students themselves. My YouTube channel, “Psychology Snippets,” discusses Psychology topics in small, bite-sized videos.
My debut novel, BURIED DEEP IN OUR HEARTS, celebrates the important bond with our animals and honors their memory. My second novel, FINDING HER SPIRIT, is a coming-of-age novel about the many ways a horse-loving girl finds strength in horses, despite the fact she can’t have one. Spirit (the buckskin horse in the pic) is the inspiration for my book.
In March 2021, Spirit unexpectedly earned his angel wings. Thank you to Dream Haven Guest Ranch in Marion, Montana for allowing me to connect with such a beautiful being. His life changed the trajectory of mine.
When not writing, counseling, or speaking, Daniel and I and create videos for our YouTube channel, "Adventures with Dan and Tracie." I also love horseback riding, traveling, singing, playing the piano, dancing, being on or near water, movies, and quoting “Golden Girls," "Friends," and "Will & Grace" episodes.
