Collaborative Therapy Rooted in Respect, Authenticity, and Compassion
Whether you're navigating daily food worries, body image distress, or more entrenched patterns of disordered eating, I offer therapy that is warm, relational, and collaborative.
​
My role is to create a safe space to help you understand yourself more deeply and gently challenge the patterns that no longer serve you.
​
Together, we'll look beyond surface behaviours to understand what's driving your struggles with food and your feelings about your body. We'll then create new patterns that are more flexible, supportive, and aligned with the life you want.
​
I take your concerns seriously, and will also bring playfulness and humour to our sessions when it feels helpful. I'll follow your lead and respect your choices while offering guidance and insight along the way.
​
Your role is to show up, explore your concerns honestly, and take one step at a time. I'll be right there with you.
A Human-Centred Approach to Healing & Growth
At the core of my work is a humanistic philosophy. This means I view you as the expert in your own life -- with an innate capacity for healing and growth -- even if it doesn't always feel accessible.
​
This therapeutic approach supports you in becoming more present, more self-aware, and more connected to your values so you can live in a way that feels true to you.
Working With the Stories That Have Shaped You
Eating and body image concerns rarely exist in isolation. They are often rooted in deeper experiences — early trauma, cultural pressures, family dynamics, or moments when you learned to disconnect from your needs and
feelings in order to cope.
These experiences shape the stories you’ve learned to live by — stories about your identity, your worth, your body, your relationships, and what you believe is possible for yourself. In addition to a humanistic lens, I use narrative therapy to help you explore these stories with curiosity and compassion so you can begin to question what no longer serves you and allow space for new ways of being.
Understanding Your Patterns Through a Family Systems Lens
Much of how we relate to ourselves and others begins in our early relationships. Family systems therapy helps you understand the family roles, patterns, and dynamics that shaped you — and how they might still influence
your life today.
This is important when working with eating and body image concerns, which can develop in families where boundaries were unclear, expectations were high, or physical appearance was heavily emphasized. Eating struggles are also common in families where neglect or abuse occurred. Together, we’ll explore these dynamics with warmth and understanding so you can begin to relate to yourself and others in ways that support healing — to create a more peaceful relationship with food, your body, and your emotions.
