Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Brandon, MB.

In Eating Disorder Counseling/Treatment, my approach is holistic, compassionate, and collaborative, aiming to address the complex interplay of psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors underlying disordered eating patterns. Through a person-centered approach, I prioritize building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, validated, and empowered to explore their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and interpersonal therapy, I work with clients to develop new skills.

I help clients overcome addictive relationships with food. Like all addictions, the behavior is the tip of the iceberg, used to cope with underlying thoughts and emotions. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain insight into underlying concerns, gaining coping skills to more effectively navigate these issues. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), helping clients achieve a sense of freedom and control over their lives, leading to long-term change.

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.
