Casie has been a board-certified music therapist since 2014. She completed her undergraduate degree in music therapy at Marywood University in Scranton, PA and her internship at the Louis Armstrong Center for Music Therapy at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York with a concentration in neonatal and pediatric music therapy. Following her internship, she worked as a music therapist with individuals in skilled nursing and dementia care.
After leaving the East Coast, Casie transitioned to music therapy in the special education setting, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities while completing a master’s degree from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. Through this experience, she developed the music therapy program and music therapist position at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Stockton, serving the oncology, pediatrics, neonatal intensive care, and stroke and neurology departments in collaboration with the university. Casie supervised music therapy students and interns, where she found a passion for supporting future music therapists in their growth and development.
Casie is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in education, as she hopes to support the development of music therapy interns and new professionals and the longevity of the profession through skilled and compassionate supervision. When she isn’t providing music therapy, Casie enjoys reading, writing, spending time with her cats, playing board games and video games, and going on hikes.
“My own experiences have shown me that the right support and guidance goes a long way and I always want to lead with this mindset. Having a supervisor or therapist that loves what they do, can only elevate the growth that is experienced. We are all capable of incredible things and being a part of helping others to find this potential is the greatest reward.”
