Family Therapy in Port Coquitlam, BC

I work with children and youth using Synergetic Play Therapy. Through this framework, I support my clients to integrate their body sensations, emotions, and thoughts through play. Play in the language of children. When a child engages in play, they are able to explore the experience of the world in a safe and comfortable manner. I meet children where they are at and connect in a way that feels authentic and meaningful for them. I support children to develop emotional regulation, learn skills to better manage the challenges they face, and build on their strengths and resources.

Not all Binges are a Choice. The exact cause of BED is unknown, but chemicals in the brain, family history and certain life experiences may play a role in Binge Eating Disorder. BED often begins in the late teens or early 20s. BED affects slightly more women than men. About 40% of those with BED are male. I believe we “know” when our eating behavior is off and that dieting will not resolve the underlying anxiety. There is help, I’ve been there.
