About Us
Kindful Psychology is a clinical psychology practice offering services to adults struggling with difficulties such as stress, grief, anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, and burnout.
We specialize in offering "third wave" psychology interventions, which focus on the relationship we have to our thoughts and emotions, as well as drawing upon various techniques to gently challenge unhelpful ways of thinking and to gradually face fears that may be holding us back from moving forward in our lives.
How Kindful Came to be
For years, I practiced therapy here in Thunder Bay within a more traditional model, but I often found it felt overly clinical and analytical, leaving less room for the genuine human connection that I believe is at the heart of healing. The relational aspect of the work I loved was getting lost in the process, and over time I found myself facing the same burnout and disconnection that many of my clients were experiencing.
When the pandemic hit, I started over from home. Without the formality of a traditional office setting, I found myself having more genuine conversations and building deeper, more meaningful connections with clients. I was reminded that while techniques matter, healing often happens in the space created by empathy, authenticity, and human connection.
During this reset, I reflected on my experiences both personally and professionally, and one lesson kept coming back to me: therapy works best when healing happens through a relationship that feels real, comfortable, and authentic. I wanted to bring that same dedication to authenticity to my own practice, creating an environment where people feel cared for by skilled professionals who show up as real people first.
As that human-first approach grew, so did Kindful Psychology. What started as just me quickly expanded into a team of like-minded therapists who share the same philosophy. Today, Kindful is built on the belief that healing happens through evidence-based care that is grounded in real relationships.
