Do you feel overwhelmed by food, frustrated by your body, or stuck in a cycle of restriction and guilt? Do you live with a health condition like diabetes, PCOS, or high cholesterol and feel unsure how to eat in a way that supports your well-being without becoming obsessed with “doing it right”? You’re not alone. Many people feel anxious, confused, or ashamed when it comes to food—especially when health concerns enter the picture. If you’re exhausted by all-or-nothing thinking, chronic dieting, or trying to “eat perfectly,” I can help you find another way.
I work with people who want peace with food, and for some may be managing conditions like diabetes, PCOS, or high cholesterol. As a dietitian and counsellor, I blend nutrition and therapy to support emotional eating, binge/restrict cycles, and body image—all with a non-judgmental, sustainable approach.
Clients tell me they feel relieved to finally talk to someone who gets it—who can speak the language of blood sugars and body image, diet culture and digestive issues, shame and self-care. You don’t have to choose between mental health and physical health. You can move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion for your body.

If you're struggling with food, that's where we start - because it's often the most distressing part. As we ease that burden, we begin to explore how systemic pressures and personal experiences have shaped your relationship with your body, and work toward peace, clarity, and self-compassion.
