Who I Work With

Cassandra works with children, teens, and adults who are navigating the complexities of ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Her approach is collaborative, clear, and grounded. She prioritizes helping clients develop a deep understanding of themselves while simultaneously building a toolkit of real-world coping strategies. Whether working with a child learning to regulate their emotions or an adult managing the pressures of a demanding career, Cass provides energetic and supportive guidance that helps clients move from feeling stuck to thriving.

Clinical Framework

Cassandra pairs her enthusiastic spirit with a rigorous commitment to evidence-based practice. She integrates several key modalities to support her clients' momentum:

• ADHD-Informed Care: Providing specialized strategies to help neurodivergent brains manage executive function, focus, and emotional regulation.

• CBT & DBT: Offering structured ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build immediate skills for distress tolerance.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encouraging clients to take purposeful action toward their values, even in the presence of difficult emotions.

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthening the emotional bonds in relationships and helping clients feel more secure in their connections.

Outside the Therapy Room

In her element: Hanging out in the fresh air outdoors, surrounded by cats, or diving hands-first into a new arts and crafts project.

Current downtime: Working on creative DIY projects, recharging in nature, and spending low-key time with her pets.

Vibe: Thoughtful and grounded, with a quick sense of humour and a genuine appreciation for the simple, creative moments in life.
