You've achieved success by being perfect, pleasing everyone, and working twice as hard to prove you belong. But the exhaustion is real and the self-doubt never quite goes away.
What if imposter syndrome and people-pleasing weren't mindset issues to "manage"—but nervous system patterns you could actually rewire?
I help women in leadership who are done performing, perfecting, and people-pleasing rewire those patterns using somatic EMDR-informed coaching to rise into calm confidence and self-trust that lasts.
You know the pattern:
You've tried affirmations. Journaling. Traditional coaching. Therapy. And still—the same thoughts creep back in.
Because you can't think your way out of a nervous system problem.
Most coaching asks you to "reframe" your thinking. But limiting beliefs aren't just thoughts—they're encoded in your body, running automatically beneath your awareness.
That's why somatic EMDR-informed coaching works differently.
Instead of talking about your patterns, we rewire them at the nervous system level—where imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and people-pleasing actually live.
The result?
Change that doesn't require constant maintenance. Self-trust that doesn't fade when things get hard. Leadership that feels grounded, not forced.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?
Short version: therapy treats and diagnoses mental health conditions; coaching builds skills and creates change without medical treatment.
Can my results last?
This is what makes EMDR so powerful. When we resolve negative core beliefs...they don't "come back". When the body updates the belief, behavior follows. Integration is built in so changes become your new normal.
Do you take insurance or HSAs/FSAs?
Coaching is private pay and not insurance-eligible. Some HSAs/FSAs reimburse coaching; check your plan. I’ll provide simple receipts (not superbills).
Who is this not for?
Active crisis, unmanaged substance dependence, current domestic violence without safety planning, or severe dissociation without clinical support. In those cases, therapy (or higher level care) comes first. If you’re in crisis, contact local emergency services or the 988 Lifeline.
Where do sessions happen?
Secure video worldwide for coaching. In-person VIP days available by request (limited).
What about confidentiality?
I treat your information with care. Coaching isn’t governed by HIPAA, but I keep your data private and secure and won’t share it without your consent—except where required by law (e.g., risk of harm).
What’s your availability and waitlist?
Private coaching and Hybrid Immersion opens as space is available. So, some women may be in week 2, while others are in month 2 on group calls. If spots are full, you can join the waitlist after your clarity call.
Refunds and cancellations?
Because I reserve your slot and create custom plans, coaching payments are generally non-refundable. You may reschedule with at least 48 hours’ notice; details are in your agreement.
What happens in a clarity call?
Name what you want different in the next 30–90 days, and make sure you’re in the right lane. If you need therapy, I’ll say so and share next steps/referrals. If coaching fits, we’ll choose a starting target and outline simple next steps. No pressure, no jargon—just a clear read on fit and what working together would look like. Calls are private and you can reschedule with 24-hour notice.
Cassandra is passionate about helping women heal. Her style is warm and inviting and she often uses examples from her own life in order for individuals to feel understood. She's amazing!
