Cassandra was amazing to work with. I came into therapy over four months ago really struggling with decades old trauma from childhood that had been impacting my life for a long time. She gave me such great care and compassion and was such a safe person for me to heal with. The tools, exercises and information she used in her work with me have been life changing. I highly recommend Cassandra as she is tops at her profession and is so good at what she does to give hope and a path forward to a better and more fulfilling life.
