HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS! That is the key!! With 25 years of experience, much research, studying, and face to face experience living and working all over the world, I realized relationships with yourself and with others can make or break our contentment in life! But there are skills to learn to make it happen, skills such as self-awareness, ability to pay attention to the world around us and our own bodies (mindfulness), learning to grieve and let go while embracing change, learning the characteristics of a healthy relationship with others and with ourselves, and accessing our strengths while focusing on the beauty in life. I'd love to walk with you through this process to restore hope.

I want you to feel that therapy is a safe and non-judgmental place to share your thoughts, and feelings. I believe that counseling should primarily be solution-focused to help you achieve your goals and begin to see improvement as soon as possible.

I am Casey, a queer-affirming therapist who is also part of the queer community. I specialize in working with people who are non-conforming regarding sexuality, lifestyle, relationships, gender, religion and many other ways. I want to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for people to explore thoughts, questions, issues, and feelings they are dealing with each day. I have helped many individuals use body awareness to understand emotions and mood and learn how to manage their impacts on daily life. I use an integrated approach that teaches Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Social rhythm therapy, mindfulness, and Solution Focused techniques. I have a lot of experience working with people to manage issues related to grief and loss, life adjustments, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and managing stress and crises. I know there are many ways that people express themselves and their emotions and not everything works for everyone. I bring a creative mindset to sessions to help problem solve the presenting issue.

My goal is to help with the obstacles that are blocking my client’s from becoming the best version of themselves. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, intensively trained in EMDR and DBT therapies. I’ve been serving the community in outpatient and residential settings for over 18 years.
