More about Cassandra

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Therapy is a space where you can learn to understand, love, and express your authentic self, and as a therapist, my role is to support you in this journey. I believe that collaboration is essential and that by working together, we can find ways to enhance your growth, build your insight and resilience, and promote your strengths. I can support you in developing healthy tools and strategies to achieve your goals and work towards a satisfying and meaningful present and future. I believe in providing direct feedback and I also tend to bring humor and playfulness into the therapy space – life is about many moods and expressions.
