Accepting new clients! I specialize in eating disorders, body image, trauma (PTSD & CPTSD), self esteem, anxiety, & depression. My approach to healing includes both the mind and body. If you struggle with insecurities, self criticism, managing emotions, overthinking, destructive behaviours, or relationship issues, I would love to support you. I can help you to shift underlying beliefs, safely process trauma, and utilize effective coping strategies. Counselling can lead to increased self confidence, inner peace, and deeper meaning in life. I am also an EMDR therapist, reiki practitioner, and a guided breathwork facilitator.
I specialize in disordered eating (yo yo dieting, restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, binge-purge, etc.), body image, self esteem, and self-confidence. I also focus on: people pleasing, shame, childhood trauma, self worth, self control, personal growth, and self-acceptance. I primarily use modalities such as: CBT, DBT, mindfulness, somatic, & EMDR.
It takes courage to reach out for help. If you are open to healing and becoming the version of yourself you want to be, I am here to safely guide you. If you would like to release the thoughts, feelings, & patterns that no longer serve you, and live a more joyful, peaceful life, please reach out! I also have an office therapy cat to support you.

The main issues I can help you with are disordered eating, body image issues, and anxiety. We first conduct an intake assessment, and decide on goals for counselling. These issues are typically treated using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (focus on changing thoughts and behavioural patterns), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (focus on emotional awareness, mindfulness, and self acceptance).

I use cognitive behavioural (CBT), dialectical behavioural (DBT) therapy, and EMDR to process thoughts, feelings, sensations, and heal trauma. We build awareness around your patterns, and start by making small, sustainable changes. I also focus on connecting back to your body safely (somatic awareness), noticing where stress, tension, & traumas are held, and learning strategies to release them.
