It takes a lot of courage and strength to enter therapy. I provide a safe, supportive, and positive environment where the sources of stress and life difficulties would be identified. Ways to work through and overcome life challenges would then be presented and focused on with the goal of improving one's life one step at a time.

I believe that is important to understand your life's purpose and enjoy yourself along this journey. There are occasions when we become stuck due to unexpected circumstances and other hindering situations. Stress can present itself in many ways and cause us to feel overwhelmed. No matter what has held you back from experiencing peace in your home, regaining trust, or experiencing emotional stability, I can help. I enjoy working with those going through various transitions in life. These transitions can include a difficult career move or decision, relationship endings/beginnings, divorce, widowhood, empty nest syndrome, women issues, etc.

If you or your relationship feels stuck and need help breaking harmful, recursive patterns (usually generational) to feel loving, prosperous, and healthy, reach out. Because once you grasp that your personal beliefs (again, often generational) create your emotions and that those emotions result in your behaviors, you can transform yourself and your relationships. I will help you replace outdated negative beliefs with healthy new ones. You will learn how to communicate and express emotions effectively. You will learn how to navigate life by becoming aware that you are playing the game of life; you just need to understand the rules.

Hi, my name is Cassie and I am happy you’re here. I am a clinical social worker for those who are parents or wanting to become parents, and other adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and stressors from disruptions in relationships. Parenthood can feel unpredictable, both challenging and rewarding. Being a parent can cause a whirlwind of emotions and at times leaves us feeling alone or unsure. Whether your stress stems from your own childhood coming back to you, relationships, your child’s development, or the endless 'hats' a parent must wear, you do not have to be alone. I am here for you.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
