My name is Cassandra. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. My path into psychotherapy has always been rooted in a deep curiosity about relationships — how they shape us, influence our sense of self, and impact our overall well-being.

At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change happens within safe, attuned connection. I place strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore patterns that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or stuck.

I am currently completing training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach to trauma resolution and nervous system regulation. This training allows me to integrate nervous system awareness into therapy — helping clients not only gain insight, but also shift the ways stress, anxiety, and relational experiences are held in the body. By combining attachment-based and somatic approaches, therapy becomes both reflective and experiential.

I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship struggles, intimacy challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, self-esteem, disordered eating patterns, and trauma. I also support individuals and couples experiencing disconnection, desire discrepancies, or difficulty communicating their needs within relationships. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

Outside of my work, you will often find me exploring outdoors or trying something new. I am naturally drawn to adventure and animals, and I frequently incorporate themes of grounding, resilience, and connection to nature into my practice.

I am committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming space where diverse identities and lived experiences are honoured with care and respect.
