In session, there will be an emphasis on cognitive-behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy. This said, I do practice from an integrationist perspective as not every theory fits for each individual or issue. What this means is, I will also use theories from narrative therapy, emotion focused family therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, structural therapy, solution focused, Maudsley family therapy approach, etc. depending on the issue and age of the client.

Case consultation provided to professionals working in/around eating disorders, body-image, etc.

Hi there!

I have always thought that people just need to talk more! We all struggle with something at some point in our lives. If people just talked more, perhaps struggles wouldn’t feel so debilitating, desperate and lonely. The thought “I am the only one” would not stay stuck in people’s minds. The sense of stigma around mental health issues, and asking for help, would not be so strong. By talking, taking a leap of faith, and opening up, one can begin to heal. Life is not always a barrel of monkeys, and it is not always bad. I cannot promise what you are struggling with will go away forever, but I am willing to listen and walk with you as you learn skills, build a healthier lifestyle, engage in meaningful relationships and more.

Specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and distorted eating, I also work with those struggling with body image issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder/tendencies, self-injury, life transitions, relationship issues, stress, boundaries and assertiveness.
