Tricia graduated as a Master of Social Work from the University of Saint Mary's in 2026 and received a bachelor's degree from The College of Saint Scholastica in 2024. She completed both her bachelor's degree and master's degree internships working with individuals who have been diagnosed with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder. She believes that recovery looks different for everyone and offers support to her clients in whatever capacity they need. 

She considers herself a wounded healer. She has overcome many setbacks and is able to draw on this as a strength in a therapeutic setting. She uses her own emotional wounds to provide a unique understanding that a textbook cannot teach. Her therapeutic approach is gentle and compassionate. "It is important to me that I provide a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages healing". Tricia has a working knowledge of natural health and incorporates this into her practice. She enjoys getting outside with her clients and going for walks during her therapy sessions. Tricia's particular areas of interest are trauma, relationships, eating disorders, criminal justice, and addiction recovery.

In her free time, Tricia enjoys spending time outside. She particularly likes gardening, camping, and going for walks.

"Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion." - Buddha
