// Personally

In her spare time, Cassandra enjoys relaxing with family and friends, watching her favourite tv shows or reading a great book. As an avid traveller, she loves planning and embarking on her next adventure – whether near or far. Cassandra loves everything whimsical, including strawberry dresses that twirl and all things Disney.

// Why Therapy?

I felt called to support others.

 

I worked in communications for over a decade and found my way to the mental health field after a personal experience with cancer, after which I felt called to commit my career to supporting others.

I went through my own challenges.

 

Having experienced health challenges, I’m able to approach the topic with both a unique and fresh perspective.

Empathy and trust are key.

 

I’m highly motivated by helping clients explore their lives using compassion and empathy, creating a trusting and comforting space.
