Hello! I’m Cassandra and I am a registered psychotherapist.
Having grown up in the Ottawa Valley area, I am passionate about helping to better the lives of those in our communities and beyond. In my own life, and particularly my experiences as a parent, I have learned how valuable incorporating coping skills for anxiety, emotional regulation and mindfulness can be- and I am inspired to empower my clients to find the strategies that work best for them.
I employ a person-centered, integrative approach, believing that therapy should be tailored to each of my client’s individual needs while viewing feelings, thoughts, and behaviours as interconnected, influencing daily functioning. To me, therapy is a collaborative process where clients are well-informed, and able to share their thoughts and opinions. I strive to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere for all, maintaining a non-judgmental and empathetic stance throughout the therapeutic journey.
My commonly used approaches to therapy include Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness-based techniques.
I look forward to working alongside you!
