Meet Casey
I am a white, queer, nonbinary therapist based out of Pittsburgh, PA. My identity also includes being chronically ill, disabled, and neurodiverse. I have seen both first hand through my own experiences and as a professional how difficult it can be to exist in a world that was not built for you. This being said, please remember that although working through these thoughts and feelings about your identity can be scary: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.
DISABILITY JUSTICE
Disability justice is at the center of my practice. I not only welcome, but enjoy working with neurodivergent people of all ages, especially those who are newly diagnosed or exploring this aspect of their identity. I also welcome those who are existing with a disability. Let’s talk about the struggles you face and ways to make life just a little gentler for you. Regardless of the challenges you face, big or small, our sessions will incorporate discussions of justice and liberation principles. ( And many times that means screaming, crying, and ranting about the world together.)
KIDS & TEENS, GENDER IDENTITY & DIVERSITY
I find great joy working with kids and teens, especially those who identify as trans / non-binary / gender diverse. It’s hard growing up, figuring out who you are and your place in the world. I can be there for you as you work through this part of your life as a support person and confidant. Every day it gets harder to hear about the current trends in health policy, so let me be extremely clear: my ethics will not change; you are radically safe with me.
I try to be as genuine and candid as possible in the therapy room. I want therapy with me to be affirming and celebratory; we all need more spaces like that in life. I often laugh with my clients, ask tough questions, and work with you to figure out what is needed most in the moment (Support or Solutions? IYKYK). I recognize that I will never know your life the way that you do, and you will always be the expert.

Outside of sessions you can find me hanging out with my wife and two cats, building Legos, and watching weird documentaries.
