Asking for help can be one of the most difficult things to do when you are struggling. As a therapist, I recognize the strength it takes to be vulnerable and explore the parts of yourself that you may perceive as the scariest. My hope is that my clients are willing to allow me to sit with them as they explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviors and work towards creating a healthier, happier life.

As a human being we often put on a face or mask that doesn't represent who we are, which can lead to exhaustion and disconnect to self. My services are dedicated to assisting individuals, couples, and families of all ages who are facing issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, or feelings of inadequacy. I adapt my approach to cater to the unique needs of each person, helping them to explore their own emotional and somatic processes. With a deep understanding of the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine I am trained to assist in the integration of such therapies in my practice.

You come first in therapy. I’m just here to help. When we learn to be honest with ourselves, life is happier, problems are solvable, and relationships are easier. I prefer a direct approach because self-exploration requires clear reflection. I’m also patient because sometimes it takes a few tries to get to where we want to be.

Welcome! My name is Casey and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with with several year of service to the great residents of Nevada. I work to provide a calm and peaceful environment where healing can happen. In treatment I focus heavily on increasing awareness through the use of mindfulness. For example, consider how much time we spend thinking about the past or future compared to the present. Too much time in the future breeds anxiety while too much time in the past breeds depression. The present is where we find peace even for just a moment.

Time and Again ...we give our best efforts to rediscovering the marvelous qualities common to the early stages of falling in love and to evoking the richer dimensions of family life, and yet... We end up ...confused and disappointed, broken-hearted, enraged and ready to quit. Why? Because ...few of us were taught how to cultivate the emotional resources and practical skills for negotiating the daily complexities of living and loving. But the art of living --like all art--requires skill, discipline and persistence. Individuals and families who take this path do so because their love for whom they love demands it.

Many people seeking support for substance use feel caught in a cycle of wanting change while also feeling unsure how to begin or maintain it. You may be experiencing cravings, relapse patterns, or emotional overwhelm that makes it difficult to stay on the path you want for yourself.
In our work together, we focus on understanding what is driving these patterns and building practical, sustainable strategies for change—whether that means reducing use, strengthening recovery, or preventing relapse. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin.

Do you find yourself getting in your own way, even when you know what needs to change? You may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that lead to overthinking, avoidance, or pulling back just as things start to move forward. Over time, this can affect your confidence, your relationships, and how you see yourself. I work with adults who notice these patterns but haven’t been able to interrupt them. The work centers on making sense of what’s happening, so your reactions stop feeling automatic and start making more sense.
