Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pleasanton, CA

Hi, I'm Cassie (Cassandra), a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in mental health care.

I believe mental health treatment should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. Every person has a unique story, and I take the time to listen, understand your goals, and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, sleep concerns, and other common mental health conditions. Through thoughtful psychiatric evaluation and medication management, my goal is to help you find clarity, restore balance, and move forward with confidence.

Whether you are seeking support for the first time or looking for a fresh approach to your mental health care, I strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward improved mental wellness and helping you build the tools needed to thrive in everyday life.

We often seek therapy when we're ready for change and part of our life has become unbalanced. A feeling of discontent, depression, or anxiety may have lasted a lifetime, or may have been initiated by a transitional change, such as loss of a relationship or career, or a yearning to grow beyond where we have been stuck. I welcome all parts of you, and will meet you where you are at in the journey towards wholeness.

I'm a therapist who believes real change starts with feeling truly heard. I specialize in working with motivated clients who are ready to take action and move forward in their lives, rather than staying stuck. If you want to feel more in control of your emotions, your choices, and your future, I offer a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you get there. Together, we will make sense of what you are going through and find ways to help you feel more grounded and confident as quickly as possible. My goal is to help you build on the strengths you already have, even if you don't see them just yet.
