Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in West Kelowna, BC.

Struggles with food and body image are often about much more than eating—they can be ways of coping with pain, stress, or difficult emotions. I approach eating disorders with compassion and curiosity, creating a safe space free of judgment where you can begin to untangle the relationship between your emotions, body, and sense of self. I draw from an attachment-focused perspective to explore how early experiences and relationships may have shaped your patterns with food and self-worth. Nervous system regulation techniques help to reduce overwhelm and restore balance, while EMDR can be integrated to process painful experiences or traumas that contribute to disordered eating.

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.

I use Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques in my practice, and as such, see much greater results than those who use traditional psychotherapy techniques with eating disorders. My techniques focus you on being accountable for your behaviour and to own it through tracking, data and self-management. YOU own the problem and the solution to this, with my help.
