Past experiences and trauma can become “stuck,” continuing to impact the present. I provide EMDR therapy, when appropriate, to help the nervous system reprocess unresolved experiences, easing emotional distress and creating space for lasting change.
When life feels heavy, isolating, or hard to navigate, therapy can help you reconnect with meaning, energy, and hope. I work with clients to understand the roots of their emotional struggles and to find small, sustainable ways to reclaim their light.
Exploring who you are within the context of your culture, family, and community can be both liberating and complex. I offer a space to unpack identity, honor your lived experience, and process the impact of race, culture, and systemic forces on your mental health and sense of self.
Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, or life transitions, I help couples and individuals understand relationship patterns, build trust, and communicate more effectively. My work is influenced by Gottman-informed principles, and together we’ll explore how to show up more authentically - with yourself and your partner.
I hold space for women navigating the unique pressures and expectations placed on them - whether related to identity, relationships, caregiving, career, body image, or burnout. Our work will center your voice, your needs, and your right to take up space.
Adolescence and early adulthood are full of growth, challenges, and questions about identity and belonging. I work with teens and young adults to help them explore who they are, develop coping tools, and feel more confident in their voice and choices.
Many clients come to therapy feeling disconnected from who they are or uncertain about where they’re headed. I help you tune in to your inner voice, rediscover your strengths, and create a life that feels aligned with your values and identity.
It can be hard to speak your truth, ask for what you need, or hold limits with others. Therapy is a place to practice clear, compassionate communication and to explore how boundaries can support healthier, more authentic relationships.
Change - whether chosen or unexpected - can bring up grief, fear, and self-doubt. I support clients through breakups, career changes, moves, graduations, and more, offering guidance and steadiness as you move into your next chapter.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Kacey is truly amazing! I’ve worked with many therapists over the years, but I’ve never experienced as much growth and progress as I have in the short time we’ve worked together. She has a way of making me feel so safe, seen, and truly heard, which has made all the difference in my healing. I’m so grateful for her and am constantly recommending her to all of my friends!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Have been seeing Kacey for roughly 3 months, I'm a person who doesn't like to talk about feelings, and I don't like to show my hand. From the first session she has made me feel at ease, she is awesome.
