Parents + caregivers
People caring for children or family members while navigating advocacy, fatigue, changing needs, uncertainty, and their own emotional well-being.
Areas of interest
Especially drawn to people carrying care, change, and complicated stories.
As I grow as a counselor, I am particularly interested in walking alongside parents and caregivers, women navigating transitions, and families facing relational or mental health challenges.
These are developing interests. Cacey’s actual internship population, services, and scope will be determined by her approved clinical site and supervision.
People
Who I feel called to understand more deeply.
No person fits neatly into a category. These starting points reflect lived experience and curiosity, while each counseling relationship begins with the individual story.
Families in difficult seasons
Families responding to children’s emotional, behavioral, educational, or mental health challenges and seeking healthier ways to understand and connect.
Women navigating transition
Women moving through changes in identity, family, work, relationships, caregiving, loss, or a new season that no longer fits the old map.
People exploring relational patterns
Individuals curious about family-of-origin experiences, attachment, recurring relationship dynamics, and how old adaptations shape present life.
Why caregivers
Caring for others can make it easy to disappear from your own story.
My own family has given me firsthand appreciation for the beauty, complexity, advocacy, and emotional labor involved in caring for children with unique needs.
That experience has shaped my desire to support people who have spent years caring for others while often placing their own emotional well-being last. I understand that showing up with hope can be courageous work.
