Asian-American/ English and Cantonese Speaking. I am a first generation child of immigrant- parents. I hope to be able to use part of this experience to help connect with some of your unique experiences navigating today’s world.

Fun facts: A few of my passions outside of therapy and counseling include… coffee, reading horoscopes, hanging out at home with the furry friends, traveling and exploring the world, learning about new cultures, interior design and artwork, home decoration, and tattoos (and/or free expression of the body).

 

Hello! My name is Tracy, and welcome to Rose Therapy and Counseling!

I’m a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Maryland. I am passionate about helping my clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief in order to tap into inner healing and making meaningful change.

I am culturally sensitive and trauma-informed. Part of my goal is to have a safe space for helping others in processing inter-generational and cultural related issues and trauma, amongst other stressors. Examples of inter-generational and cultural related trauma may include: enmeshment, avoidant or insecure attachment styles, feelings of guilt and resentment, grief, or perceived toxic pressure to achieve or attain success. These things are just a few of the things that we might touch on in our time together. Other things we may work on may include: relationship conflict, women's issues, managing stress, healthy thinking, and managing/maintaining your wellness.

Our sessions will be dedicated to help you explore some of your inner-most feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Along with feeling more compassion for yourself and security in your own skin, I hope to help you get closer to the healing that you have been looking for.

It is a big choice to decide to connect for therapy, and I look forward to the opportunity to help you work through some of the complex issues and stressors in your life. Now accepting clients on a waitlist.
