[I OFFER VIDEO SESSIONS THROUGHOUT ALBERTA AND ONTARIO]. I work with clients who are addicted to food and/or who are wanting to lose weight. I do not work with people with anorexia or bulimia because I am in private practice and I am neither a physician nor do I work in a medical facility. I have, however, been a psychologist since 1986. I specialize in addictions. If you would like to see me, book now by visiting https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=14249112

I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to support exploration and healing. I help clients explore the root causes of their struggles, such as underlying emotions or past experiences, and examine unhelpful thinking patterns that may contribute to their feelings and behaviours. Together, we work on developing tools for emotional regulation creating a healthier relationship with food and self considering body image. I aim to empower clients to move toward greater self-acceptance, balance, and overall well-being.

Our relationship with food can get really complicated! Food is intended to nourish us and keep us healthy, but a unhealthy relationship with food can easily develop. Frequently food becomes a coping mechanism for dealing with stress, anxiety, perfectionism and self-hate. It is when you start to address the underlying causes of destructive eating and begin to value yourself more that you can start to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and food.

Eating disorders and disordered eating behaviours (ex: emotional eating, binge eating, restricting, purging, etc.) are often preceded and exacerbated by problematic thought patterns, negative core beliefs, and a poor self-image. I can help clients challenge their thoughts and beliefs, replace negative coping skills, and rebuild their self-image. Accompanying anxiety, depression, and trauma can also be addressed and managed as these conditions frequently co-occur with eating disorders.

Starting as early as in grade 2, our youth are deeply affected by the issues of body evaluation and peer acceptance. More and more kids are falling into despair because they don’t know how to combat the pressures of going along with what others might consider normal, or because they don’t have the tools to fight against the moments of low esteem/confidence that are a regular part of youth development. Dealing with eating disorders requires a two prong approach - the physical aspect of the disorder must be addressed, as does the psychological aspect of the issue. Tools for healthier resiliency must be developed.

Sometimes we deny our needs and this can include our need to eat. The problem is the control others might have over us if we are to reveal our needs. Exploring the need to express our needs and have control over our lives increase our ability to choose. The tangible we create with our bodies that mirror this dilemma can take many forms, but the healing comes from reconnecting to our needs. I have successfully worked with people from a variety of backgrounds to treat a variety of eating disorders and look forward to working with you.

We have psychologists who specialize in helping clients with disordered and unhealthy eating, as well as recovery from eating disorders. Therapists draw on CBT and Mindfulness, among other modalities, to help clients who suffer from the painful effects of eating disorders. Out therapists are experienced, compassionate and also flexible in their approach, as we know that each person must travel a unique path to healing.

I have specialized training in working with emotional eating, chronic dieting, binge eating, and body image concerns, with a focus on understanding these struggles through a trauma-informed lens. Rather than viewing disordered eating as a problem to fix, I see it as a meaningful response to pain, often a way the body and mind have learned to cope with overwhelm, disconnection, or unmet emotional needs. Using an integrative approach, I help clients explore the underlying experiences driving their relationship with food and their bodies, while fostering self-compassion, nervous-system regulation, and a reconnection to internal cues of hunger, fullness, and safety.

Are you battling an eating disorder and keeping it a secret? You are not alone in your pain and struggle. Do you think you would like to change this pattern and develop a better relationship with your body? I can work with you in a confidential and safe environment, to understand your concerns, gain insight into your challenges, and develop goals tailored to your needs in order to overcome your unique battle.

While I do not specialize in treating eating disorders directly, I support individuals who are struggling with the emotional, relational, and identity challenges that often surround food and body image. Therapy with me may focus on anxiety, self-worth, family dynamics, or burnout—factors that can impact or intensify disordered eating patterns. When appropriate, I collaborate with specialized clinicians to ensure comprehensive care. My role is not to replace a treatment team, but to support the deeper personal work that often runs alongside it.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

My approach to treating eating disorders is compassionate, holistic, and strengths-based. I focus on helping clients build a healthier relationship with food, their body, and themselves by addressing underlying emotional patterns, unhelpful thoughts, and coping strategies. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, I support clients in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. We also work on building life and relational skills, improving communication, and reconnecting with personal values to foster lasting recovery and well-being.

Does thinking about your weight leave you feeling defeated? Frustrated? Hopeless? Unfailing willpower doesn’t come from the perfect diet or exercise program… it comes from the mind. It’s not the diet we have to get right. Learning to manage your mind and identify self-sabotaging beliefs can be key to achieving your weight management goals. Sometimes, it’s not the diet we have to get right. Learning to manage your mind and identify self-sabotaging thoughts and beliefs can be key to achieving your weight management goals. Emotional eating, whether as a result of a bad mood or in the form of “treats” and “rewards”, and negative beliefs, such as “I will never be able to,” “I’m going to fail”...
