Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Nisku, AB.

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.

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.

It is extremely hard to deal with an eating disorder by yourself. The eating disorder effects the person who has it, and the family of that person. Therefore, I would like to provide you with a secure and supportive environment, where we will be able to explore your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions. Together we will work on achieving a healthy balance in your life.

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.

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.
