About

Hi, I’m Cassie.

Finding the right therapist isn’t always easy. I’m here to help you navigate the path towards healing and want to partner with you on this journey. 

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and PTSD. Using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I focus on sexual and relationship trauma, guiding clients toward rebuilding confidence and control over their lives.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Simmons College in 2008, and since then, I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults affected by trauma. Today, I focus on helping older teens and adults heal from trauma, using evidence-based techniques that stay current with the latest research.

I specialize in helping people who have experienced:

My Approach

I believe in honesty, transparency, and the possibility of full recovery from trauma. You’ll always know where you stand, and we’ll use weekly assessments to track your progress.

Therapy with me is structured. I provide clear guidance, and you’ll have homework every week to stay focused. This therapy isn’t easy—it’s hard work, but if at any point it’s not giving you the results you need, I’ll help you find the right next step.

Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, anxiety, or emotional wounds, I’m here to help you heal.

Skills You Can Take With You

The goal of therapy is to help you gain independence. Each week, I’ll teach you new skills to practice through structured homework, using workbooks and worksheets to keep you organized. These skills will stay with you long after therapy ends, empowering you to succeed on your own.

Tracking Your Progress

To make sure therapy works, we’ll use weekly assessments to measure your progress. These tools give real-time feedback on what’s working and what needs tweaking. This data helps build your confidence and ensures you see real, measurable change.

Why I Do What I Do

Helping people overcome trauma is my deepest passion, and it’s the driving force behind my work. Trauma therapy is different from other forms of therapy; it’s not just about coping, but about reclaiming a life that was once overshadowed by pain.

There is nothing more fulfilling than witnessing someone who has been held back by past wounds begin to heal, regain a sense of empowerment, and grow their confidence and self-esteem. Watching people rebuild their lives and rediscover their strength gives me a profound sense of purpose.

Knowing that I am making a tangible difference in people’s lives, helping them heal and grow beyond their trauma, is what motivates me every day.
