Together we will work to unpack underlying feelings and core beliefs. I enjoy helping clients make sense of their experiences. I believe our childhood experiences can impact our adulthood. When needed, I will provide psychoeducation as well as suggest behavioral modification. I will help you replace unhealthy behaviors and provide alternative options.

Hi! My name is Cassaundra, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Before I tell you a little about myself, I just want say that I am really happy you are here. It is not an easy thing to ask for help, or seek out therapy! Too often our problems feel too big and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could understand, let alone help. You are not alone. The first, and hardest step, is seeking help and you have done that! As I mentioned I am a LMFT; meaning I was trained to work with individuals, families and couples. I have experience working with young children, teens, and adults.

A little bit of stress is a good thing. It gets us out of bed in the morning and motivates us to work towards our goals. But too little or too much stress are problems that interfere with our ability to be the best possible versions of ourselves and can prevent our minds from being at ease to deal with life’s daily tasks or pursuing opportunities. Often too much stress can lead to anxiety and depression. Through CBT and other modalities, we will discuss your thoughts and emotions as well as ways to help your motivation and any barrier that may be getting in the way of leading the life you would like.

You're struggling to understand your child’s emotions, feeling more disconnected the harder you try. At home, they're upset, and the calls from school aren't helping. Managing their outbursts and juggling your own stress has left you drained and questioning if you’re doing more harm than good. You've tried everything—books, advice, different strategies—but anxiety, and self-doubt keep creeping in. When your child lashes out or has meltdowns, you find yourself frustrated, yelling, punishing, or withdrawing, only to feel guilty afterwards. Many parents feel this way, especially those who weren't emotionally supported as children.

High Functioning Anxiety may have worked for a long time, but now it could be taking you over, leaving you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and at a loss of what to do. When you are normally able to handle it all and now you feel like you can't, it is frustrating and discouraging. This in turn can start to wear on your body and make you feel tired and sad at times and then the next thing you know keyed up and anxious.
