Accepting Clients

Hi! I'm Kassidy. I support children, teens, & adults in healing, growing, and finding their voice through art and talk therapy.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Pacifica, CA

About My Clients

I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, stress, or family challenges. Many of my clients identify as sensitive, creative, or as the “black sheep” in their family. They’re ready to break cycles, deepen self-trust, and move through life with more clarity and confidence. Whether we use art, talk therapy, or somatic tools, I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.

My Background and Approach

I’ve known since high school that I wanted to be an art therapist, and that passion has guided my path ever since. I earned my Master’s in Art Therapy and Marriage & Family Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University, where I developed a strong foundation in creative, relational, and trauma-informed work. My approach is person-centered, meaning I see you as the expert in your life. I bring warmth, intuition, and collaboration into our sessions, along with humor and creativity to make space for healing and growth. My work is informed by somatic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-focused modalities. I'm a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and currently pursuing certification in somatic work. Whether we're using art, movement, or talk therapy, my goal is to help you feel seen, process your experiences, and build a more grounded, empowered relationship with yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I value authenticity, inclusivity, and social justice. I believe in creating a space where all parts of you are welcome - your identities, your struggles, your strengths, and your story. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and committed to anti-racism and ongoing unlearning of oppressive systems. I stand with Black Lives Matter and support reproductive justice, mental health access for all, and the dismantling of stigma around therapy. I also have a deep respect for intergenerational healing, and I admire the courage it takes to break harmful patterns. Outside of the therapy room, I believe in the healing power of creativity, nature, and community care. I'm continually learning, growing, and striving to show up with integrity and compassion, for my clients and the world we live in.
