Welcome — I’m Kacey, and I’m honored you’re here. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can work through life’s challenges and get to the source of why you feel stuck.

 

I specialize in helping women who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or past trauma. Together, we’ll focus on reducing stress, finding clarity, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

I work primarily with young adult women who want to break free from cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and people-pleasing.

 

Many of my clients are college students or professionals navigating life transitions, stress, or the pressure to always ‘get it right.’ If this resonates with you, you’re not alone — and therapy can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • Anxiety & Stress

  • Perfectionism & People-Pleasing

  • Depression & Grief

  • Infertility, Pregnancy, and Post-Partum Challenges

  • Life Transitions

  • PTSD & Trauma

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a gentle approach that helps you explore different “parts” of yourself — like an inner critic or perfectionist part. By understanding and working with these parts, you can create more balance, self-compassion, and inner harmony.

EMDR Trauma Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps the brain process and heal from painful or traumatic memories and limiting core beliefs. It reduces the emotional charge of past experiences, and changes how you view yourself so you can feel calmer and more in control today.

Meditation & Mindfulness
Mindfulness techniques and meditation practices help you slow down, focus on the present moment, and manage stress. These tools build resilience, improve emotional awareness, and create a greater sense of peace in daily life.

​

Spiritual Integration

Spiritual Integration brings your personal beliefs and values into the therapy process. Whether you follow a religion, have spiritual practices, or none at all, we can explore what feels meaningful to you, work through conflicts or past spiritual hurts/religious trauma, and use your values as a source of healing and growth.
