I’m Cassie—mom, wife, clinician, and small business owner. I came into this work because I have seen too many people silently struggling—feeling alone, overwhelmed, and weighed down by unrealistic expectations.
Today, my work focuses on helping individuals who struggle with emotional regulation—learning how to understand big feelings and develop healthier ways to cope.
Much of my early work centered around trauma and helping people find healing in their communities, their schools, and at home. Over time, I noticed a common thread across all ages and stages: many people were never taught how to understand or regulate their emotions. The same overwhelm that shows up in women during life transitions often appears in children and teens as big feelings, anxiety, shutdown, or behavioral outbursts.
Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and develop the tools needed to feelmore balanced in both body and mind.
My therapy style is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and focuses on building practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and resilience. Whether I’m working with a child learning to manage big emotions, a teen navigating the pressures of growing up, or awoman feeling stretched thin by life’s demands, my goal is the same—to create a space where youfeel safe, supported, and understood.
Healing doesn’t require perfection—just a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
