Her specialties are in attachment theories and personalities covering lifespan development with multiple expertise in Trauma Informed Care through Substance Abuse and Mental Health Care Administration and affiliated with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. Casey provides therapy for couples, individuals, and group settings. Through the use of multiple modalities, Casey believes healing starts with the best fit for your personal needs. Therapy is a very personal process. Be it feeling stuck in life, traumatic events, eating disorders, affair recovery, divorce recovery, marriage salvage, child-rearing years with families and individuals in addition to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, chronic illness, sexual abuse, physical abuse and/or whatever life has thrown your way.

Life is not easy and often unfair. Over our lifespan, we experience many different challenges through changes from divorce, job transitions, troubled relationships, self-esteem, and self-image issues. Casey provides relief from a new cognitive reframing process through experiential therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapies, post-modernism, analytical therapies, and humanistic therapies that cover whatever is best for the induvial client and/or family. Further grounded in Gottman's methods, Casey is an avid researcher in evidenced-based approaches to finding healing and a mindful place of present living, free from the negative schemas our minds feed us. The mind is truly a powerful place.

With the new-found research in neurobiology in re-wiring our brains from a negative thought process to a positive, better known as an optimist vs a pessimist, the perceptional look on life is proving so promising through restructuring your attachments and personalities in developmental theories. It is an exciting time in the ever-changing mental health field!

Finding how to let go of the past and rewriting your narrative will keep you in the present to enjoy true peace. Through the sense of self and perceptional shifts of cognition, you will be guided to resiliency and perseverance in living your purpose and to your full potential. Further, in understanding throughout our lifespan, changes are inevitable, and finding your new sense of normalcy is the catalyst for living your healthiest, most peaceful life with true happiness.

Casey's clients range from children to geriatric. With her empathetic approach to therapy, you will be pleased with the potions of choice you never knew existed. Happiness is a choice, and action is often required but with the aid of a great working therapeutic relationship, your goals of how you want to live are well within reach. Together this can and will be accomplished.
