My overall desire for clients is to help them learn to live more authentically and wholeheartedly with a greater capacity for connection, joy, resilience, and hope.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that they cannot seem to change on their own. This can look like overthinking, self-doubt, emotional heaviness, or difficulty in relationships. I work with teens and adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change. This work tends to fit best with people who value reflection, depth, and a slower, more exploratory pace.

Meet Cassidy

I believe healing happens in relationship, and that therapy might be one of the few places where we can slow down and really begin to understand our thoughts and feelings in a meaningful way. In our work together, I offer a steady, supportive, and collaborative space where we can get curious about your experiences. We pay attention to the patterns that show up in your life and relationships, and we explore how your past may still be shaping the way you think, feel, and respond today. Over time, change happens, not just through understanding our patterns, but through learning to respond to ourselves with greater compassion, curiosity, and care.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each person I work with, drawing from person-centered, psychodynamic, EMDR, and ACT perspectives. This means we might explore your story and early experiences, process unresolved emotional experiences, build awareness of present patterns, and work toward greater flexibility in how you respond to life.

How I Work

I was born and raised in Georgia, and I grew up in a big sports-oriented family full of Clemson fans. I went to UGA for college, creating a fun family rivalry. After graduating, I started a career in Human Resources before deciding to return for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, snuggling with my dog Reese, listening to podcasts, working out, and watching sports.

“Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.”

— Brené Brown
