"Emotional eating is a VERY common problem that affects our ability to lose weight or maintain a consistent weight long term. Most people think THEY are the problem for being lazy, lacking willpower and motivation to simply eat less and exercise more. What no one has told you about this powerful emotional undercurrent to your eating patterns and food habits that you're simply not aware of. There are ROOT causes as to WHY you struggle with food and weight. You can overcome emotional eating by learning to recognize when and why it's happening, and then applying strategies to release this stuff. You can do this!"

"Therapy is an opportunity to let go of the things that no longer serve you and an invitation to nourish the things that do. My clients come to me when they want to examine their thinking, behaviour and beliefs that may contribute to the problems they experience. They also come to me when they just need a nonjudgmental safe space to work on the difficulties they are experiencing. We look at ways to come home to yourself. My career has included 11 years at the Royal Ottawa Mental health centre in the substance use and concurrent disorders program and more recently as a program director in a private substance use disorders facility.
