Have We Met Yet?

Hi! I'm Casey. I'm the Mom of 2 kids and a mini-schnauzer. I work full time in a public school helping children with social, emotional, and behavioral needs through the use of expressive arts therapy and mindfulness practices.

I'm super passionate about helping kids and I combine my unique background in expressive arts therapy, nursing, and mental health counseling with my studies of herbalism to take a truly holistic, mind-body, whole-person approach when working with others. I have a longstanding interest in mind/body medicine and I'm passionate about helping people reach their highest potential through the use of the healing arts, complementary, and alternative/natural therapies.

My Background in Social Emotional Learning

I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient psychiatric settings, group homes, outpatient mental health, elementary, middle, and high schools. I hold registrations as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT), a Registered Nurse (RN), and a Licensed School Adjustment Counselor/School Social Worker.

My Books

I love to write and I am the author of the following 3 social-emotional learning books:

Skills for Big Feelings: A Guide for Teaching Kids Relaxation, Regulation, and Coping Skills

Social-Emotional IEP and Treatment Plan Objectives: S.M.A.R.T. Treatment Planning Made Easy

Let's Talk About Friendship: A Guide to Help Adults Talk With Kids About Friendship published by DK.

Some of My Favorite Things

I love being creative, spending time near the ocean, in nature, or at a concert. I am really passionate about all of the arts, music, and creativity. I love to travel, read, and drink coffee!

In my spare time I enjoy a lot of crunchy things like plants, herbs, gardening, and essential oils.
