Great to meet you!

It's time for a change.

Hi, I’m Cassia, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients look like they’re “holding it together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted internally.

Therapy is a space to slow down, gain clarity, and begin making practical changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and structured. I use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact.

In our work together, you can expect: • Clear goals

• Practical coping tools

• Skill-building between sessions

• A space where you can be honest without judgment

I believe healing involves both insight and action. We won’t just talk about problems, we’ll create a plan to move forward.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is focused on understanding your story and identifying what you’d like to change. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope therapy can help with.

By the end of our first meeting, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and next steps.
