One of my loved ones suffered from OCD and was successfully treated. I know how difficult the condition can be. OCD has been controlling you to trust intrusive thoughts and certain compulsions. In treatment, I'll ask you to trust me and our work with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Ensuring you feel safe is key to me. I'll meet you where you are and help you see your strength as you take control of OCD. You don't have to live in pain. You are not alone. You too can live the life you desire.

Why our members love working with Tracie
M.B.
Tracie makes me feel so comfortable. There have been things I have been so embarrassed about saying out loud, but I can with Tracie due to her lack of judgment and warmness.
D.M.
Tracie is very clear, direct, and no-nonsense. I appreciate that very much because it is super helpful with OCD. Tracie is very experienced and shares skills and goals that have made a big difference in my life.
C.T.
My therapist is amazing! Tracie sees me as a strong person for what I have done during my career and experience in life. She encourages me to move forward and take the time to heal myself. I am indebted to her for keeping me as her patient. She’s my savior!!!
P.H.
Excellent and productive session
P.H.
Tracie walks on water and parts the sea. I have had psyches and therapist throughout 60 years of my life. I went in with one issue and we peeled out a few more. It only happened because she is so unconditionally accepting of whatever deep dark secrets that I have and that no one knows about except her and me in the whole world. It’s her penetrating brown eyes that draws a commitment out of me to taking constructive steps. She’s a good Christian women. My recovery is also God based.
