I enjoy working in a way that is both structured, easy-going and warm. Like Ghandi said, "No-one ever understood a truth about themselves unless it is spoken with kindness." It can be painful facing aspects of our lives that we have previously avoided or self-medicated. However, I do what I can to make this safe and to go at your pace instead of mine. Although it takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and talk about these underlying issues, in the long run, there is an equivalent sense of freedom and connection.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I view my role as assisting my clients to more fully realize and become their authentic selves. Often, life events occur that prevent us from feeling strong, brave, satisfied, or even present in the world. We may become disconnected from others as well as ourselves. My passion is supporting clients as they grow, heal, play, discover, and connect within their therapy sessions and in their lives. I provide a safe, secure space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, wishes, and fears.

Daily responsibilities and obligations can make self care a challenge so I recognize the time you're taking to find a therapist to meet your needs. The feelings from anxiety and depression can be overwhelming so support can feel hard to find. I use a client-focused, strengths-based approach as I collaborate with you on your chosen goals. My intention is to support you in feeling empowered, positive, and successful. Whether we're addressing emotional struggles in your daily life, difficulties in your personal relationships, or mental health challenges you are experiencing, I will listen and encourage you with compassion and empathy.

The therapeutic relationship is a real one that can bring on great change and growth. I deeply invest in my clients and the work we do so to create the change you want and need.

"A journey begins with a single step." Today it is easy to feel disconnected from people in our lives. I believe awareness, exploration, and communication of feelings is key to becoming reconnected with others as well as with yourself. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group settings. I have experience with crisis work, long-term therapy, and short-term as well. We will start where we you feel the need to take your "single step" and the "journey" will go at the pace that you set.

My ideal client has concrete goals that he/she is looking to reach with the help of therapy, where therapy is seen as an active process that requires work on the part of the client. My ideal client has a variety of emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral challenges. Their goal is for he/she to be the better version of themselves for a better quality of life they desire.

My ideal client would present solution-focused with a desire to gain insight and understanding of presenting symptomatically and how those symptoms manifested. Their issues, regardless of being situational or organic, should be addressed directly with kindness and acceptance without judgement. The need should be to not only identify and address their current symptoms but also to work towards a more profound understanding of why such symptoms are present and how to create an opportunity for change. The goal should support a progressive change to improve quality of life.

You can expect to move through therapy in a way that is authentic and attentive to the here and now of your life. What is important to you will be important to me and we will use that to guide us towards your unique and individual goals. You are the expert on yourself and I am honored to be able to hold space and get to know you throughout this process. I am so excited to walk alongside you throughout this journey and create a space of safety and empowerment.

Hello! I’m Cassie. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in mental health for around ten years. My journey thus far has taken me through many different treatment settings and with people from all walks of life and all sorts of struggles. My goal is not to “fix” people but help them lead the lives that they wish to—whatever form that takes. I want to help people to recognize their power and to make their own choices. I strive to help my client to go from surviving to living.

I work best with individuals in which are internally motivated for change, looking to work collaboratively alongside the individual to explore depression, anxiety, PTSD, codependency, and much more. My approach to therapy is person-centered and solution-focused, focused on offering a kind, compassionate, yet straightforward approach to growth, which encourages individuals to think deeper and build connections that will assist them with a better understanding of the underlying issues. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is by far the most important aspect that encourages internal growth.

Clients, as well as therapists, come in all shapes and sizes. When it comes to finding a good fit in a therapist, clients should feel safe and comfortable to be able to open up over time. Personality plays a huge role in compatibility. Down to earth, approachable, and relaxed are three qualities that describe my persona. I strive to provide clients with a safe space to feel respected, heard, and understood. I support clients in building effective communication skills, fostering meaningful relationships, practicing appropriate social skills, utilizing healthy coping strategies, and to establish and maintain healthy boundaries.

I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia.
