Cassidy received her Master of Arts in Speech Pathology from Western Michigan University and her Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences (speech-language pathology emphasis) at Grand Valley State University. Her passion for the field was sparked early on by her older brother’s experience with stuttering, which gave her a firsthand understanding of the impact communication challenges can have on individuals and families. This personal connection continues to shape her compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy.

Cassidy works in the public school system, where she primarily supports students on the autism spectrum in the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) program. She uses a multimodal communication approach to help children find and strengthen their voices. She also works with students in early childhood general education and elementary settings with needs in articulation, phonology, language, fluency, and social communication.

Cassidy is dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming environment where therapy is individualized and guided by each clients’ interests and personal speech and language goals. She prioritizes helping her clients build confidence and feel empowered in their progress.

Outside of work, Cassidy enjoys traveling, martial arts, snowboarding, and playing the piano.
