Mental Health Provider & Patient Advocate

Casey is originally from New York, where she graduated from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services in 2002, completing an accelerated program with a concentration in Clinical Social Work. While getting her degree, Casey worked at a residential treatment facility supporting those with substance abuse and also supported at risk adolescents. After graduation, Casey continued her work with adolescents, spending five years doing clinical work with adolescents in a school setting.

Casey moved from New York to Wilmington, North Carolina where she now has her own private practice. In her clinical practice, Casey utilizes a strengths-based approach to support clients and integrates different therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. While Casey does work often with the endometriosis and chronic illness communities, she also works with teens and adults who come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Anxiety, depression, grief, burn out, and relationship challenges all can have a significant impact on daily life. Casey offers tools to manage these feelings, while also providing a space to process trauma, set boundaries, and feel validated. Casey sees patients in her office in Wilmington, North Carolina and throughout North Carolina and in Florida through telehealth.

Casey’s own struggles with infertility, endometriosis, chronic illness, and pregnancy loss led her to work in these communities as a patient advocate and mental health provider. Casey is known for her work bringing light to the impacts that these physical challenges have on mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Individuals living with endometriosis, infertility and other chronic health challenges can feel like they are constantly living in a state of physical crisis. These issues often have a profound impact on not only their physical health, but almost every aspect of their social and emotional wellbeing, inhibiting their relationships and life goals while causing anxiety and depression. Therapy is a way to feel supported through the stress, grief, and medical trauma that can come with these conditions.

Casey has worked with expert medical professionals, advocates, and global nonprofits in the endometriosis and infertility fields to improve access to care. She has collaborated with Project Endo, the Endometriosis Summit, the Sister-Girl Foundation, the Endometriosis Foundation of America, and EndoMarch, speaking about the mental health impact of endometriosis and infertility at their events. She has had the pleasure of working with other nonprofits in the community, such as Gynoqueer, The Endometriosis Research Center and Extrapelvic Not Rare, and had the honor of receiving EndoBlack’s Outstanding Ally award at their inaugural gala in 2022. Casey is credited as an assistant producer on the groundbreaking film, “Below the Belt” and her documentary, “Endotruths: Impact of Endometriosis and Infertility on Mental Health,” was featured in the Unmentionables Film Festival in Harlem, New York.

Casey’s book, Endometriosis: From Harm to Hope, is set to come out March 2026 through Sheldon Press.
