I provide a compassionate and holistic space for clients to explore the complex underlying factors contributing to their struggles with food and body image. Through a combination of evidence-based modalities such as ACT, DBT, and ACT, I help clients develop a healthier relationship with food, challenge distorted beliefs, and address emotional and psychological aspects related to their eating disorder.

I have worked with clients who have issues stemming from trauma/abuse and self-esteem. Together we take the necessary steps to change.

I also believe in utilizing additional social service networks to assist in this approach if deemed necessary.

Eating disorders are a symptom of distress and a subsequent need to manage that distress. Understanding the source of the distress can greatly help to alleviate the symptoms enough to learn new ways of coping that are not as compromising of the body, but rather move the individual toward a more balanced regard for self and a healthier lifestyle. Depending on the severity of the disorder it may well require co-operation and participation of other family members as well. This kind of support can often bring faster more permanent positive changes.

My approach to eating disorders is not about food, weight, or behavioral control. Eating disorders are an attempt to solve an unbearable internal problem — a response to disconnection, shame, trauma, and the collapse of self-worth. Beneath the surface is often a profound struggle with control, identity, and relational injury. Our work is not about monitoring behaviors but about healing the deeper fractures that make the eating disorder necessary. This is a process of restoring dignity, agency, and right relationship with self, body, and life itself.
