Take Back Control and Learn to Thrive

Therapy for individuals who want life-changing results
In-Person in Westlake Village and Online throughout California
Life hasn’t panned out how you imagined.
You’ve worked hard to accomplish your goals but aren’t as satisfied as expected.
Along the way, you made concessions and allowances, which led to losing sight of your dreams.
Lately, it feels like you’re just going through the motions of life instead of actually living it.
You barely recognize the person you’ve become.
There was a time when you felt healthy and whole.
You remember when there was lightness to everything you did, and you felt unstoppable.
But now you’re plagued with negative thoughts and feel stuck in place.
Jim
Jim answers the phone to his demanding boss, asking him to come to the office for an impromptu meeting. Out of nowhere, Jim’s chest tightens, and his heart begins to pound as panic sets in. He wonders if there’s a way to make these distressing feelings disappear.
Carol
Carol lies in bed in the middle of the night, unable to sleep. Painful memories of her past flood back without warning. She goes downstairs to make herself another cocktail to calm down. But it’s only a temporary solution, and avoidance only works for so long.
Rick
Rick brightly greets his spouse every morning, putting on a happy face, but inside he feels nothing. He’s unsure when this disconnect began and wonders if it will last forever. He’s spent so much of his life burying his emotions that he doesn’t remember how to access them anymore.
Susan
Susan always strives to be the best at everything she does. She goes above and beyond at work and constantly sacrifices her own needs for the sake of her family. But in the process, she’s lost touch with herself. She wonders if ignoring what she wants is the only way to please others.
Nothing changes until something changes.
What you’ve been doing isn’t working.
Numbing the pain, trying to find some quick fix, or ignoring it and pushing through are all just making things worse.
Unless you try something new, things will stay the same.
There is another way.
You don’t have to repeat the same self-destructive patterns in your life and relationships.
It’s possible to achieve greater calm, happiness, and confidence.
Let’s work together to create the lasting positive change you deserve.
Hi, I’m Tracy.
And I’m passionate about helping people heal and move forward.
Using powerful mind-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, we can help you achieve the permanent, rapid relief you’ve been searching for.
You’ll learn to understand the root causes of the negative thoughts and body sensations that have plagued you so that you can resolve them.
And together, we’ll help you overcome the fear and sadness and start living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
If you are willing to do the work, the results can be life-changing. Let’s do this together!
Jim
Jim called me, and we worked together to get a handle on his emotions. Now fear and anxiety are no longer limiting his true potential in life.
Carol
Carol had had enough and reached out to me. We spent time processing the pain of her past so that she doesn’t have to live at the mercy of her memories anymore.
Rick
Rick was tired of feeling numb. Through our work together, we helped him get back in touch with the feelings he’d been ignoring, so he’s now empowered to express his authentic emotions again.
Susan
Susan was sick of being her last priority. In our sessions, she could identify her own needs as an individual, so her happiness is no longer dependent on everyone else’s.
Jim, Carol, Rick and Susan are fictionalized composites of real clients whom I’ve helped.
