Cassie is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). She has eight years of experience in both medical emergency room care and acute psychiatric care. For her, psychiatry was an obvious choice, allowing her to work with families across the lifespan and work closely and collaboratively with people. Cassie utilizes evidence-based treatments such as ketamine-assisted therapy, crisis/emergency management, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). She manages and treats depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, PTSD, and women's health issues. Her goal is to alleviate bothersome symptoms and maintain emotional stability and health while monitoring such treatments' effects. Cassie is passionate about the mind-body connection and its impact on one's mental health. At Thriveworks, her role includes medication management, education, therapy, and patient advocacy.
Cassie obtained her bachelor's degree as a registered nurse and her master's degree as a nurse practitioner from Indiana University. Working in both rural and inner cities has given her insight into different treatment modalities. Cassie is passionate about providing access to care across the lifespan. She sees all age ranges, from child to geriatric.
Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain, and you feel the rain, but, importantly, YOU ARE NOT THE RAIN. Cassie is ready to assist you to be the best version of yourself and, most importantly, feel better. Schedule an appointment with her to get started on your journey.

Testimonials are from real patients who completed a post-session satisfaction survey and agreed to share their feedback. Results may vary.
Why did you decide to become a psychiatric provider?
I worked in the emergency department for several years before getting into psychiatry. Here, I was exposed to patients who felt their lowest. I saw how the lack of psychiatry providers caused the patients to wait in the ER for over 48 hours waiting to be seen. It was devastating and sparked my interest in how I could help.
What types of clients do you work with best?
I work best with clients who have an open mindset to new treatment modalities.
What type of clients are you most excited to work with?
I am most excited to work with patients who have never had psychiatric care before. It is incredible to show the patient how capable they are of feeling better.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
I wish all clients knew that mental health does not have to be taboo. Most of us are either affected by mental health issues or know someone close to us.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
Thriveworks gives me the opportunity to see patients outside the regular 9-5 hours. I can provide clients with better access to care this way.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by those who have overcome adversity and those who reach out to get help. It takes courage to know you need help and actively do something about it.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
In our first session, I would like to get to know you both medically and personally. I want to hear about your symptoms, but I also want to know what makes you smile.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
In my free time, I am the captain of a co-ed volleyball team, and I participate in CrossFit most mornings before starting to see patients.
