registered psychotherapist (qualifying), RP (qualifying)

Hey, I’m Cassandra! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I work with adults, adolescents, and couples, offering a compassionate and collaborative space to explore life’s challenges and emotions with honesty and care.


My experience includes supporting individuals through grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Drawing from approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and help you find greater balance and connection in your life. My

work is guided by empathy, curiosity, and respect, encouraging you to build on your strengths and develop tools for emotional well-being.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in community settings including developmental services, community health, and Hospice care. These experiences shaped my deep appreciation for the resilience people carry, even in their most difficult moments. My own healing journey through loss further strengthened my commitment to this work and my belief in the power of being truly seen and supported.


In our sessions, my goal is to create a grounded, welcoming environment where you can safely explore every part of your experience: the heavy and the hopeful, the known and the uncertain. Together, we’ll move toward understanding, growth, and healing at a pace that

feels right for you.

In my spare time, you’ll most likely find me with my husband and our dogs, tending to my garden, camping under the stars, or trying out new recipes. I feel most grounded when I’m moving my body, spending time with my closest friends, and exploring this beautiful world.
