I am a license-eligible psychologist practicing in the Chicagoland area, working primarily with individuals and couples in non-traditional, ethically non-monogamous, intercultural, and/or interracial relationships. I specialized in traumatic stress psychology during my clinical training and education, which provided the framework for the compassion-based and holistic approach I take when working with clients who have experienced difficult and stressful events in their lives. I also hold a certification in Primary Care Psychology, adding insight and knowledge about the way in which our bodies and minds interact in reaction to stress.

I work in a group practice, Individual and Family Connection, where we work with children and parents, offering them the support they need to better understand their child, or help them through a difficult time. Children communicate their needs and struggles through behaviors, which can feel overwhelming or confusing to the parents trying to help them. I assist parents in exploring the meaning behind these behaviors by taking time to reflect on the relationships, interactions, and caregiving responses to improve the overall quality of the relationship.

I approach the therapy relationship with empathy and curiosity. I will listen deeply to your story and will always try to understand your concerns in the context of your world. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy. As a family psychologist, I see patients of all ages: individuals, couples, and families. I focus on understanding the meanings of body symptoms and physical illness. I incorporate mindfulness, breath, and other practices which integrate the latest brain research. As a cis white woman, my work incorporates my growing awareness of the sociocultural and political forces which impact BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ communities.

Find the Missing Peace! My philosophy is that emotional pain is a result of feeling broken and incomplete. Therefore, therapy focuses on healing what is broken and seeking what is missing. Generally, we hope that something outside of ourselves will fill the emptiness -- job, money, relationship, food... In my experience filling the emptiness is an inside job. Accepting yourself, with or without those things, allows us to heal and enjoy the "stuff" so much more. My approach is collaborative, working together to explore and remove the obstacles in the way of your happiness and peace of mind.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental and inviting space to process and improve: relationships (familial, friendships, work or love), difficulty balancing obligations, challenges with stress or anxiety, self-esteem issues and/or depressive tendencies. I help people identify relational, thought and behavioral patterns that may have once been functional but are no longer helpful. My ideal client is looking for active therapy that has a practical application to help with immediate symptom relief while also looking at and changing lifelong patterns of behavior for longer term change.

No one's mental health exists in a vacuum. We receive messaging from the people around us about who we "should" be. Relationships suffer when we tell ourselves stories that aren't true. Our relationships improve only when we come to learn and know ourselves, and our mental health thrives when we connect with others. My practice bridges the gap between the self and others. Got an annoying coworker? A mom without boundaries? A friendship on the fritz? Let's explore how you show up as to these relationships. Together, we will work on your relational and mental health to create your most meaningful and rewarding life.

When her initial pursuit of a career in evangelical ministry was disrupted by a mental health crisis, Casey was forced to reckon with the harmful impact of purity culture and systemic homophobia on her sense of self. After coming out as queer at a college that expressly forbid “homosexual behavior,” Casey made it her mission to disrupt misinformation and barriers to authenticity by pursuing her masters in counseling with a specialization in sexual and gender diversity, and ultimately received her Sexual Health Certificate from University of Michigan.

The therapeutic dialogue is a unique collaboration in which exploration and growth can occur while addressing difficult issues around relationships and life. I work with clients to navigate challenges and explore the parts of themselves that have held them back or limited their ability to make satisfying decisions. Each person coming to therapy is in a different place with different needs. I meet them at that place and work with them to move forward and find healing. My goal is to approach clients with compassionate understanding.
