Hi, I’m Tracey! I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, personal growth, relationship issues, cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, women's issues, and perinatal mental health.
My goal is to create a safe and affirming place that offers authenticity, humor, and genuineness for you to share your stories. I believe in healing and growth through processing and making meanings of your experiences, recognizing your strengths, embracing your identities, nurturing your spirituality, and empowering you to make intentional choices. I will support you in learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, communicate and express yourselves, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate toward your goals.
I practice from a culturally sensitive, person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed lens in my treatment approach. My therapeutic approach integrates a variety of evidence-based therapies including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
A little about me: I love to travel, enjoy different cuisines, read, listen to music, and spend time with my family. I have a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University – School of Professional Psychology. I also have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a specialization in Social Psychology at the University California San Diego (UCSD).
I will be here to support and guide you on your journey toward growth and healing.
