I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to support exploration and healing.

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.

[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

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.

If you’ve struggled with disordered eating, you are all too familiar with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and a disconnect from the body. You may also have a constant need for control while at the same time feeling a frightening and exhausting loss of all control. Please know that none of this is your choice, but rather is a state of stress and overwhelm while you do your best to feel better. I have nothing but compassion for the distress that comes with food-related challenges, and you have my commitment to help you care for the difficult underlying emotions involved. Together, we will create a safe space to move towards healing and a safe relationship with food and the body.

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.
