Empowering your healing journey with trauma-focused, inclusive care

Meet Cassandra

I am passionate about helping individuals process trauma and reclaim their power to build the life they desire.

I specialize in complex trauma and PTSD, with a focus on addressing childhood experiences, domestic and sexual violence, religious trauma, and experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Rooted in feminist, queer, and anti-oppressive theories, my practice is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for all my clients. I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Fullerton.

Get Started

Approach & Style

Providing Trauma-Focused Individual Therapy

As a Clinical Social Work Associate at Mindful Therapy Group, under the supervision of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in trauma focused therapy.

I believe in an integrative approach, tailoring our work together to meet your unique needs.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:

Somatic Therapy
Polyvagal Theory
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Narrative Exposure Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for chronic suicidal ideation
Risk assessment and safety planning

I am deeply committed to practicing cultural humility, recognizing and respecting the unique identities and backgrounds of each client.

My approach is sensitive to identity(s), including ethnicity, race, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, body size, socioeconomic position, and religion.

Conversations about identity and culture are always welcome and encouraged in our work together.

My practice is a safe space for all individuals, including sex workers, immigrants, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and people of all genders, sexual orientations, relationship structures and people of all abilities.

My commitment to social justice extends beyond the therapy room. I work to advocate for non-discriminatory practices, human rights, equity, and safety for all.

It is my hope that these efforts contribute to a safe and therapeutic atmosphere where you can express your authentic self.

Healing from trauma is a journey, and every step you take is a powerful act of self-care and resilience.

No matter where you are in your process, I believe in your capacity for growth, change, and healing.

Together, we can work toward a future where you feel empowered, whole, and connected to your authentic self.

It’s never too late to reclaim your story and build the life you deserve.

Let's embark on this

journey of healing,

together.
