See Cassandra's Details for:
Cassandra offers her clients a safe, accepting, and warm therapeutic space where they are free to be their authentic selves. Many of her clients struggle with relationship stress, trauma, and life transitions that have manifested in low self-esteem and symptoms of depression and anxiety. These challenges often make clients feel lost. Cassandra believes therapy can be a great starting point for drawing a new and improved roadmap.
Cassandra’s approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centered. She meets her clients wherever they’re at. To Cassandra, the therapeutic relationship is sacred. She recognizes that her clients are the experts on their own lives and reflects an empathetic perspective that empowers them to capitalize on their strengths and make the best decisions for themselves. Depending on the individual’s needs, Cassandra might incorporate other modalities as she sees fit, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness.
In working with performing artists, adults switching careers, and teens and young adults growing into their authentic selves, Cassandra fosters an environment for self-discovery and expression. Cassandra creates a nourishing therapeutic space that catalyzes each client’s potential by incorporating passion, humor, and creativity into sessions.
Cassandra makes her work to be as inclusive and intersectional as possible. She’s happy to work with anyone who is open to the therapeutic process.
