Licensed to practice in 4 states and accepts 40 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Coping Skills and 5 more.
Hello. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I'm also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Illinois. I have worked in the field of Social Work for 25 years at the Bachelor's level, including case management for at-risk youth, CPS investigations and medical social work. I received my Master's of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville and have been practicing five years. At this time, I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma among other issues. We work to recognize triggers/barriers to successful living and then learn to effectively reframe these in order to be a better version of yourself.
In our first session together, we will begin with introductions. We will talk in a broad sense about what brought you in today. I will ask you about the treatment goals that you have for yourself. If you don't have any at this time, no worries we can explore those together.
Having been in the field of social work for over twenty years, I feel that I have a great deal of empathy for people in general. I have seen many things and tell clients that they are in a safe space and what they say will not be judged in any way. I also believe I have developed the skill of active listening which is absolutely vital for successful therapy. Together we can identify what your barrier is and develop a treatment plan that will help you be a more successful version of yourself.

She welcomed me with a smile which made me feel immediately comfortable. She was very friendly, and I felt safe to share with her just in my first session. I look forward to meeting with her again and I feel like we are a good fit.

Tracy has been just who I needed as I am dealing with life. She has been really good at asking the questions that make me think through things and decide on how to proceed... Grateful for her insights and compassion.
