my approach
Hello, I’m Cassandra! Welcome to CU Therapy, where I provide psychotherapy virtually across Ontario for those navigating anxiety, grief/loss, and life transitions, with a specialized focus on supporting those diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate care and help you navigate through your toughest moments. Healing is possible, even during challenging times. I would be honoured to take that journey with you and work together to explore your life and bring about change that is meaningful to you.
modalities and specialties
I cultivate a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, compassion and empathy. I use a holistic, personalized approach through the following modalities:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Nervous system regulation
Mindfulness techniques
Self compassion
Inner child work
I work with clients on a number of experiences, including anger, anxiety, body image, break-ups, burnout/stress, chronic illness, depression, grief and loss, life transitions and relationships. I specialize in cancer and oncology for both those diagnosed with cancer, as well as their family members and caregivers.

my health journey
My health history and experience with cancer provides me with a unique, intimate perspective into the trauma associated with health challenges. Whether it be the pain of surgeries, going through treatments like chemotherapy, or the effects of a diagnosis in every facet of your life, my hope is that you, too, can embrace life through illness.
