Cassandra works with adults, youth, and children aged 12 and older, using a holistic, client-centred approach that is thoughtfully tailored to each individual. She believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and collaborates closely with clients to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and aligned with their unique goals and experiences. Cassandra is passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, breakups, body image concerns, burnout, cancer and chronic illness, grief and loss, and relationship challenges.
Her therapeutic approach blends evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, attachment-based exploration, inner child work, and self-compassion. Cassandra supports clients in developing greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical coping tools, while also fostering deeper understanding and connection with themselves.
Cassandra completed her Master of Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. She is committed to ongoing learning and creating an inclusive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

Get to Know…
When I’m not in sessions, I love slowing down with a cosy night at home, getting lost in a good book, or daydreaming and planning my next trip. I truly value meaningful connection and feel happiest when spending time with family and friends, whether that’s sharing a meal, laughing together, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Cuddling with my sweet cat, Tony, is one of my favourite ways to relax and recharge.
Taking time for these moments helps me stay grounded and connected to myself. They remind me of the importance of rest, compassion, and balance — both in daily life and in the work I do with clients. I believe caring for ourselves in gentle, intentional ways supports overall wellbeing, and I enjoy encouraging clients to explore what helps them feel calm, supported, and more at home in themselves.
Why I Became a Therapist
Psychotherapy interested me long before I entered the field, but it became my calling after a life event changed how I understood vulnerability, uncertainty, and care. Experiencing a health diagnosis firsthand showed me how quickly life can shift, and how deeply disorienting and life-altering those moments can feel. It offered me a new perspective on grief — not only for what is lost, but for the versions of ourselves and futures we may need to reimagine.
Living through this experience shaped the way I show up as a therapist. It allows me to sit with clients in moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming, without rushing them toward solutions or silver linings. I understand how illness, chronic illness, and major life transitions can impact identity, relationships, and one’s sense of safety in the world. In my work, I aim to create a space where clients feel deeply heard, supported, and validated, while also gently exploring meaning, resilience, and self-compassion. I believe therapy can be a place not only for coping, but for growth, reconnection, and learning how to move forward in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
You don’t have to carry this on your own.
