I offer in-person therapy (Middleton, WI), walk & talk sessions, and telehealth in WI, and UT.
You've probably spent most of your life being "the strong one." You hold it together, meet expectations, and keep going — even when something underneath feels broken or exhausted. You might not look like someone who's struggling. But you know.
I work with adults navigating the long shadow of childhood trauma and early relational wounds — the kind that show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and a relentless inner critic that never seems satisfied. These aren't personality flaws. They're adaptations. And they can change.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, built on the belief that real

Many of the people I work with look successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted by patterns that keep repeating in their lives and relationships. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, cultural expectations, or difficulty navigating major life transitions. Together, we explore not only what is happening now, but also the experiences, relationships, and coping strategies that shaped it. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-understanding, stronger relationships, and a clearer path forward.

Many people ask me, "Why would I want to feel my feelings?” Whether you are constantly staring at a screen, filling every space on your calendar to avoid being alone with your thoughts, putting on a new mask for every person you encounter, or using alcohol as "social lubricant" to quiet the noise, many of us have mastered the art of avoidance. Some of us neatly tuck our feelings away, trading our emotions for a nicely organized life with lots of explanations and justifications, while others stuff the jumbled up mess under the bed.

I offer in person sessions a few days per week and online via video daily.
I begin with the belief that everyone is perfectly imperfect rather than the notion that there is something "wrong" with you which needs to be "fixed". Starting the moment you were born you began to accumulate experiences from your family, community, and society. Some experiences were likely nurturing and beautiful and others were likely quite painful and challenging. Your accumulated experiences have shaped you and helped you develop mechanisms for coping, some of which no longer serve you.

I am a BIPOC woman and transracial adoptee, raised in rural WI with 10 years of criminal justice experience. At the same time, I juggle mom life of a pre-teen and am also an adoption social worker.

I offer psychotherapy sessions virtually and in-person, with availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays throughout the day.
We suffer for many reasons: some physical, some psychological, and some social and political, typically a combination. Often, our best efforts to prevent or reduce pain, which might once have been effective, lead to different kinds of pain and we find these ingrained patterns of self-protection difficult to change. It’s important to address suffering at all levels (personal, interpersonal, sociopolitical), and therapy can be one of many steps you need to take to address the sources of your distress. Therapy is a chance to explore the ways you have made meaning of your experiences and how these have helped and/or hindered you.

I am available in-person or online.
For 40 years, I've been honored to offer my clients an experience that combines expertise, collaboration, and creativity. Whether it is a new problem, an ongoing pattern, or an unexpected life crisis, your therapy is built on a trusting relationship to facilitate lasting change. I help clients have happier, more satisfying relationships, overcome depression and anxiety, manage worries about career, family, and friends. Some learn how to have a productive disagreement, how to show empathy, how to set boundaries, and how to ask for what they need. Others learn to take the steps forward while healing from painful events and trauma.

I offer in-person psychotherapy in my office that is located in Fitchburg, WI.
I help thoughtful, high-functioning adults, couples, and teenagers who feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change. On the outside, they often appear capable and put-together, but internally struggle with self-pressure, overthinking, dissatisfaction in relationships, or a persistent sense that something in life is not working the way they want it to. Many come to therapy wanting not only to feel better, but to better understand themselves and create more meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

I am offering therapy online via telehealth and in-person (outdoors).
With a down-to-earth approach and light humor, I meet you where you are, offering support and challenge to spark breakthroughs. Feeling defeated by negative thoughts is incredibly common, and these patterns can significantly impact every aspect of your life. I've worked with many clients to navigate challenges like anxiety, burnout, stress, trauma, addiction, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and career pressures. I aim to help you build a toolkit of skills and gain the insights you need to move forward, feel "unstuck," and be more present in your life.

I’m Cassie—mom, wife, clinician, and small business owner. I came into this work because I saw too many people silently struggling—feeling alone, overwhelmed, and weighed down by unrealistic expectations.
I focus on helping individuals who struggle with emotional regulation—learning how to recognize and understand big feelings, and develop healthier ways to cope.
Over time, I've noticed a common thread across all ages and stages: many people were
never taught how to understand or regulate their emotions.
The same overwhelm that shows up in women during life transitions often appears in children anxiety, shutdown, or outbursts.
