my approach
Welcome - I’m Cassandra! It’s a pleasure to see you here.
I’m passionate about creating a safe space and helping people navigate the ebb and flow of life and its challenges. Using mindfulness and self compassion, I hope to help clients arrive at a place where they intentionally shift from reacting to responding. Healing is possible, even during challenging times. I would be honoured to take that journey with you and work together to explore your life, establish goals and bring about change that matters to you.
Everyone has a story. And if you are reading this, chances are you might want to share yours. To be seen and heard, to be found and healed, and have the tools to move forward. I aim to empower people with their unique strength and courage to grow through their challenges and live an authentic life where they are not surviving – they are thriving. While the vision of a fulfilled life is different for everyone, my goal is to guide and support you to explore your life and awaken you to grow through what you have gone through.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), as well as Integrative Sex and Couples Certification Training. I am a member in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. I am under the supervision of Kayleen Edwards, Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director at Roots in Wellness.
my health journey
My health history provides me with a unique, intimate perspective into the trauma associated with health challenges. Whether it be the pain of surgeries, fear of treatments, or the effects of a diagnosis in every facet of your life, my hope is that you, too, can embrace life through illness. To learn more about my story, read my blog series for Rethink Breast Cancer (links below).
Using the premise of accepting instead avoiding, and being mindful of your thoughts and feelings, you will experience the joy of living as your most authentic self. From exploring new perspectives, to unlearning unhelpful patterns, to embracing self-compassion, I will support you in finding out who you truly are and the courage to embrace it.
