Hi! I am Cassandra Talberg, but you can call me Cassey. Currently, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner student with anticipated graduation February 2025. I have been actively employed as an RN for the past 8 years in the hospital setting. Prior to this, I was an LPN and nursing assistant. I come with experience in acute care hospitals both inpatient and within the operating room suite, primary care clinics, pediatrics, neurosurgery, trauma, and long-term care.

I feel blessed to be able to share my knowledge, skills, and training I have acquired as a healthcare professional to those around me. It is my personal mission to help people become and live out their best version of themselves as possible. In order to do this, I believe it requires a whole body approach. Whole body meaning mind, body, and spirit. This is where we truly find balance. The human body is absolutely fascinating and is capable of so many things, which is why it deserves to be cared for. I am a believer that in order to be the best version of ourselves, one must be willing to take accountability for their own health. Certainly, illness and disease may be inevitable, we have the ability to choose the approach in how we choose to manage those.

Professionally, I strive to be an advocate for clients, patients, and their families while building trusting relationships. I have a special interest in blending western medicine with holistic medicine and personally use this approach for myself and my family. I am dedicated and willing to take the time to listen to your concerns, provide education, and offer services that are specific to your needs.

Outside of work, I am a wife and mother of 3 boys and a very spoiled dog. We enjoy all things outdoors such as golfing, fishing, and hunting. My children are active in baseball, basketball, and football so you can find me on the sidelines cheering! I also enjoy traveling, painting, exercising, volunteering in the community and spending time with family and friends.
