Kelowna therapy for body image, disordered eating, anxiety, and self-esteem. I support adults, teens (+13), and athletes in building a more peaceful relationship with food and their emotions while navigating life’s many challenges. When anxiety, body image, shame or perfectionism shape what you do and how you value yourself, it can feel really exhausting. If you’re tired of never feeling “good enough” or chasing a perfect image, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll explore the layers of your story and create space for acceptance, self-trust, and compassion as you move toward a more confident and authentic way of living.
I take a mind–body approach to counselling and draw from CBT, DBT, parts work and somatic-based practices to support healing and emotional regulation. By understanding how our past experiences have shaped our beliefs and nervous system, we can gently shift old patterns and build a more effortless relationship with our body, mind, and self.
Grounded in clinical training and lived experience, I practice from a Health at Every Size lens and offer a safe, judgment-free space adapting my approach to your goals and pace. If you’re curious about working together, please email me to book a free 15-min consult—I’d love to connect and support you in nourishing the version of you that’s ready to flourish

I primarily draw from CBT, DBT, and somatic practices to support emotional and nervous system regulation, shift unhelpful patterns, and explore our deeper emotional experiences and the ways we've learned to adapt, cope and survive. By building awareness of patterns that no longer serve us, we create space to explore new coping tools that support healing
