Heal CPTSD, Mend Narcissistic Somatic Trauma Symptoms

I offer complex trauma-informed psychotherapy through The Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing Approach: a psychosomatic, mindfulness-based framework with Gestalt therapy and a faith-based lens. I specialise in CPTSD, BPD, narcissistic somatic symptoms, psychosomatic disorders and immune dysfunction, guiding clients toward authentic expression and safe relationships.

It helps heal attachment wounds and trauma bonds, building self-validation and autonomy, as supported by the Trauma Research Foundation.

Nice to Meet You. I’m Tracey.

Thank you for being here. I’m a complex trauma and narcissistic abuse therapist, and my work is faith-based. I love working through a Christian lens, and I can also work within a secular framework if that feels right for you.

After years in nursing, including hospice and long-term care, and research in chronic illness and mental health, I kept seeing the same link: long-term trauma lives in the body.

For over 10 years, first as a holistic health coach and now 6 years in my own psychotherapy practice, I’ve walked with hundreds of clients, including people with narcissistic traits. Beneath the symptoms, the same patterns almost always run: codependency, people pleasing, weak boundaries, emotional dysregulation and dissociation.

I’ve Walked This Road Myself

I’m a survivor of long-term narcissistic abuse and complex trauma. I’ve healed through an overwhelmed nervous system, immune flare-ups and digestive issues.

I’ve also recovered from years of love addiction, codependency and repeated toxic relationships. I know the hardest stages of breaking a trauma bond, and what it truly takes to heal.

And then I lost my mother to cancer. She was my best friend. Walking beside her through her illness was one of the most tender seasons of my life, and it showed me myself: how much of my life I had spent caretaking, pleasing and holding everyone together. I saw where I learned it, with so much compassion for how she did the same to survive.

I could not have survived losing her, or healed from it, if it wasn’t for God.

That season led me to Christ in the most relational and embodied way. When I shared my story with a pastor, they reflected back that I had been on a biblical journey all along, before I had words for it. It was a homecoming to my soul and body, and it continues as my walk in faith, in Christ.

This Is Soul Work

My soul tribe clients are empaths: intuitive, creative, sensitive people who have lived through long-term narcissistic abuse. Many love God, but trauma has disconnected them from feeling their faith, and themselves, in their bodies. My work sits right there, where faith and complex trauma meet.

Beneath constant anxiety and depression lie core wounds and trauma bonds. That’s what we work with. Every story is unique, but because I’ve lived so much of it myself, mistakes and messiness included, I can often see what you’re going through and what you need to heal.

I’ve done the work, and I’m still walking the path home to myself and to God. I’m here to walk it with you.

We use healing modalities, but this goes beyond technique. When you open to your higher self, your soul recognizes the path. Your intuition knows. You begin to recognize yourself, and healing accelerates, because we’re not just working on this week’s problems. We’re breaking old patterns and healing soul wounds that began in your family of origin.

The gift is time, and yourself. You have desires in your heart and real needs, but you can only truly have them when you have yourself first. So the most important thing is arriving back home to you.
