About me
As a licensed therapist in Illinois with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for those exploring identity, relationships, and personal growth. I have extensive expertise in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, addressing trauma, managing anxiety, and helping clients work through life transitions.
My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each person's unique journey. I focus on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and heal from past experiences. Whether you're struggling with relationship dynamics, exploring sexuality, managing mood challenges, or seeking support through significant life changes, I'm committed to walking alongside you with understanding and professional guidance.
I bring a liberal, non-judgmental perspective to therapy, creating a safe environment where you can explore your authentic self. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop meaningful coping strategies, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

Casey has been a Godsend. She challenges me but in a gentle way.

Cassandra listens and understands but does not judge. She points out unhelpful thought patterns as they come out of my mouth. She is a great help to me.
