Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting every part of your life. You may be exhausted from trying to hold everything together, questioning your next step, or feeling like you've lost touch with the person you want to be. Change doesn't happen overnight, but it can begin with one conversation. I partner with individuals experiencing depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity issues, and trauma so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen their relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. Working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified School Counselor with experience supporting individuals in both clinical and educational settings. I earned my Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Bilingual Education and my Masters of Education in Counseling from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach every patient with respect, empathy, and a focus on safety. My clinical decisions are grounded in current research, best practices, and your individual needs.
I believe in a collaborative and transparent treatment process. I value open communication. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your symptoms, concerns, and goals so we can work together to create a plan that truly supports your mental health.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.
You should know:
- I listen first. Your story and your experience matter most.
- Collaboration is key. We’ll work together to find the right treatment plan—whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle adjustments, or all of the above.
- I respect your pace. Healing is not a race. I'm here for you, whether you're taking small steps or big ones.

Above all, I want you to feel empowered in your mental health journey.
I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.
Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations. My background also includes leadership roles within behavioral health, allowing me to advocate for clients while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Hello, I’m Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families in various roles, including teacher, school counselor, and administrator. This background gives me a deep understanding of the challenges people face, and I use it to help my clients navigate life's difficulties with care, honesty, and practical support.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, mild depression, school-related stress, or significant life transitions such as divorce, relocation, or adjusting to new environments. I recognize how overwhelming these experiences can be for the entire family.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in San Marcos, TX
Searching for therapists in San Marcos starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or EMDR therapy, while others focus their bios on the populations or concerns they work with most often.
In a smaller city like San Marcos, local therapy options may be more limited than in larger Texas metro areas, so virtual care can help expand your search while keeping access to in-person care available when it fits. Consider practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what a first session may look like, and whether their communication style feels like a fit.
Therapy in San Marcos can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, check your insurance, see an estimated cost before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual appointments when you’re ready.
