I've created a team of Psychology professionals who love being at ProMind Psychology, so I feel 100% sure you will too. Whatever challenges you’re facing, we want you to feel cared for and understood. We are here to help you connect with your inner wisdom and find a way forward.

I draw on Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and strengths-based practice, bringing warmth, curiosity and evidence-informed support to every session.
Maybe you've been running on empty for a while. Maybe anxiety has been quietly taking up more space than it should, or a big life change has left you feeling unsteady. Perhaps you're the person everyone else leans on — and you're not sure who you get to lean on. If something here resonates, I'm glad. I work with individuals and families navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes with parenting and career pressures. Whatever is bringing you here, you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with clients from remote communities to the city, appreciating these diverse contexts.

I'm quite passionate about helping people to understand the stories that their minds hold about their sense of safety, security, worth, control and belonging. Trauma stories were created in the past, when the mind tried to make meaning from experiences that felt scary, unsafe or out of our control. The mind holds on to these stories as a way of protecting us from being hurt in the future, and replays them when it predicts future danger or suffering. But that's not the whole story. Using evidence-based, neuroscientific psychological approaches, we can process traumatic memory, distress and disturbance, and heal psychic wounds.

If you’re living with complex conditions like POTS, Long COVID, MCAS, EDS, CFS, or Autoimmune disorders, your nervous system is likely in a constant state of high alert. When a body is stuck in a cycle of flares, exhaustion, and medical gaslighting, "just talking about it" often isn't enough. You can’t talk your way out of a physiological nervous system response. My practice is designed for those who have hit a wall with traditional talk therapy and are seeking a body-based, neuroaffirming approach to find stability again.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
