Drawing on a diverse array of evidenced-based interventions, she tailors her strategies to meet the unique needs of each client. Tracy looks forward to supporting her clients as they resolve challenges and enhance their sense of competence, contentment, and connection. Additionally, her specialized training includes SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents dealing with anxiety, OCD, and similar issues.
