After graduating from York University where she earned Master’s Degree in Social Work, Tracy worked as a Clinical Social Worker for a mental health agency in Toronto. Later on, she worked for a school board in Mississauga supporting international students with their practical and emotional needs so they can focus on studying well in school. When COVID hit, Tracy decided to quit her office job, homeschooled her daughter and started her online counselling private practice. After living in Mississauga for a while, she moved to Niagara region and has been loving it ever since.

With over ten years of experience in supportive counselling, Tracy focuses on helping people create change and reach their goals. She had trainings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression, Strength-based practice, Attachment-Focused Adult Psychotherapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Meditation, Trauma, and Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). She also became a Master Practitioner in NLP (neurolinguistic programming) as she wanted to expand her counselling to coaching people to make better choices.

Tracy is passionate about helping her clients to understand how their feelings, thoughts and behaviors in present significant relationships relate to their childhood experiences. She is happy to see how her clients reconcile with their family members and/or make peace with their past so they can move on with their life.
