I enjoy assisting people who are dealing with one or more of the stresses life can bring including anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting issues. I work best with issues of stress and family dysfunction, relationship issues, self-defeating behavior patterns, parenting issues with teens/oppositional children. Ideally, clients I work with are willing to express their feelings, explore their situations in a safe, accepting environment in order to achieve the peace of mind they seek.

If you are feeling anxious, scared, isolated or depressed, during this unprecedented time, I am here to help. If you feel stir-crazy being at home, feel overwhelmed with work stress or home schooling, feel scared about getting sick or are dealing with rising tensions among family members, I can give you the skills to manage and navigate these and other issues that are getting activated. I help clients create a deeper sense of safety, intimacy and harmony within themselves and their relationships as they traverse these times. This is a scary time but it doesn't have to consume or distract you or your loved ones from living FULLY.

Casey Psychological Services is a clinical evaluation, assessment, and psychological testing practice primarily for children and adolescents. Psychological evaluations are sought for a variety of reasons including diagnostic clarification (ADHD, Mood Anxiety, Learning, and Developmental Disorders), qualification for services, educational planning, treatment planning, and to gain information and insight on a particular area of functioning. My evaluations are individualized, systemic, and strengths-based, while offering comprehensive recommendations for the identified areas of vulnerability/weakness. I use an array of interview techniques and standardized and empirically validated tests/measures to gain insights and formulate recommendations for improvement.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR TELEHEALTH /ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY EFFECTIVE 3/23/2020 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. I bring a gentle approach to what can be a difficult, but rewarding, process.

My emphasis is on the barriers that prevent us from being true to ourselves, taking responsibility for our own needs, and growing as individuals.

Grounded in the belief that knowing and being true to oneself is the key to mental health and a meaningful existence, I attempt to provide a safe environment enabling my clients to explorer their deepest feelings, thought, and beliefs. Having a compassionate understanding of human nature and psyche I facilitate the process of self discovery and healing with genuineness and expertise.In the last decade I have gained a particular interest and expertise in working with trauma.

Regardless of the kinds of difficulties you have faced, the therapeutic process offers the hope for change. I conduct individual psychotherapy with adults and older teenagers, focusing on personal growth, enriched relationships, and overcoming the barriers which we create for ourselves in life. As a Couples' Therapist, I strive to improve communication, deepen empathy and understanding, and build greater satisfaction and intimacy. When couples have decided upon divorce, I coach them in communication, planning and co-parenting, so that their divorce can proceed with dignity, respect, and concern for the well-being of everyone in the family.

My recipe for therapy starts with three primary ingredients: a safe space, proven techniques and a plan tailored to fit each individual. Talking to a complete stranger about your struggles can be nerve wracking at first. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist. So I create a warm, accepting space, free of judgement to help support your growth.

Level 1 EFT Training, March 10 & 1, 2018 (see website) I specialize in Trauma related issues. When we experience trauma it can effect all aspects of our lives, our psychological, emotional and physical well-being can all be compromised.Trauma related issues include: physical pain, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, anger, substance abuse, procrastination and avoidance behaviors. These issues can be present even if the trauma occurred in our pre-verbal years. Talk therapy alone even when paired with medication is often not enough to provide the true relief and healing we seek and deserve. This is why I incorporate Emotional Freedom Techniques into my practice.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal their emotional pain, and this ability is already within. Love, joy, inner peace, belonging, and connection to self and others, are elements that form one's foundation for a meaningful life. This is something we all strive for and sometimes have difficulty attaining. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals find the answers within and to provide them with the guidance, support and encouragement needed to promote healthy change. I work from a strength based, interpersonal, and compassionate approach to empower my clients toward a healthier life.

Throughout my forty years of professional life I have worked with people who are coping with the complete range of mental health issues and diagnoses, as well as the problems of everyday life. With each individual I strive to create a supportive atmosphere in which we can work together, developing a trusting relationship that will allow us to address your concerns, your goals, your needs. I know how difficult it can be to talk about one's self, to express thoughts and feelings, but in such a non-judgmental therapeutic setting this becomes easier and leads to resolving issues great and small that even at times seem unsolvable.

Would you like to heal current or past hurts with those who mean the most to you? Do you want to feel a deeper connection with your loved ones but have no idea where to begin? We are hard wired as humans to connect, but sometimes our fear of being vulnerable keeps us stuck in patterns of communication that may not serve us well.

As we live in a world where it is rapidly growing, our expectation to be perfect grows, as our expectation grows so do our anxiety, frustration, depression, the sense of being overwhelmed can consumers us. My practice offers a solution and guide to help you see who you are and also to help you better understand your place in the world.

I deeply enjoy helping people to better understand and articulate what is getting in the way of achieving their goals, whatever those goals may be. Some common hurdles are parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, school performance, transitions, college angst, and relationships. I believe that we can use the past to better understand our present. We must, however, focus on the present if we want to make real changes in our lives. To do this, we will discuss what is working for you (we all have strengths) and what is not. I will help you to articulate your goals and the steps that you may choose to take to meet these goals.

You might notice your heart is racing, your palms becoming sweaty, and feeling short of breath. Does worry keep you up at night trying to stay on top of that to do list? Today you are one step closer to feeling empowered to create a path toward well-being. I work with adults of all ages to explore personal strengths to help create positive changes, especially when working through life's difficulties.
