Treatment Philosophy

The foundation of therapy is finding someone you can open up to, feel safe with, and supported by. In order for therapy to be most beneficial, it needs to be a collaborative process where trust and authenticity is present. Through that relationship, a person can gain new insights into themselves as well as work towards achievable goals in their lives.

​Cassandra spends time with her clients creating a safe, authentic and nonjudgmental environment where you can be heard and validated. She brings warmth, humor, and commitment to each one of her clients. Cassandra believes that therapy is a place where you can grow and make new meaning out of your experiences, even through situations which have caused great distress.

Treatment Approach

Cassandra will work with you to set up an individualized plan to address your needs. Depending on your goals, she offers different therapeutic modalities from Interpersonal, Existential, Psychodynamic, and Attachment-based. Additionally, she is a trained EMDR therapist and uses trauma informed practices in conjunction with the modalities above. Please feel free to reach out to discuss these styles and what might be best for you.
