I specialize in treating disordered eating, emotional/stress eating, body image dissatisfaction, and the mental health concerns that often accompany them such as depression and anxiety. I create a safe space for sharing experiences, no matter how difficult or shameful they may feel. As a skilled therapist with more than 25 years of experience, I help clients to act mindfully rather than react to life with self-blame, anger, or sadness. Learning how to find calm within yourself can take the place of the constant quest for acceptance so you may move forward to live life whole-heartedly.
Often we feel happiness is out of reach for us. We may think we need to perfect something, or ourselves to become happy. I can help you examine and challenge these beliefs. I view individuals as unique and tailor treatment accordingly. My approach combines cognitive behavioural therapies and mindfulness strategies.
People often go into therapy feeling a great deal of guilt and shame. I help clients develop awareness of experiences to react to situations in balanced way. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for healing from disordered eating, and other food, body image, weight and related concerns.
