Meet Casey
Casey graduated from James Madison University with a strong desire to make a difference in working with people. She took a huge leap of faith and moved to California with no job, no place to live, and exciting plans to make a difference. After living in California and working with students with special needs as a speech therapist, Casey recognized the needs of the families supporting students. She began to notice that her support of students and families, looked more like counseling than speech-related support. She decided to begin her journey as a family therapist in Boston.
Casey embodies the principles she imparts in her therapy practice, seeking experiences that spark joy, foster growth, and promote holistic well-being, beyond the therapy room. Nestled on the East Coast with her family, she finds fulfillment in life's pleasures, approaching each day with gratitude and dedication to meaningful work. An avid reader of fiction, psychology, and parenting books, she enjoys experimenting with new recipes, reality TV and trying new restaurants. Traveling fuels her soul, with recent trips to Spain, Portugal, and Ireland. Her adventurous dog, Bennie, has traveled to 23 states!
Bennie and Bailey, her beloved dogs, are constant companions during daily walks and office hours. Casey's journey of self-care intertwines seamlessly with her commitment to supporting others, marked by authenticity, compassion, and a dedication to personal and collective healing.
"Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up." - Brené Brown
