Waitlist for new clients
Hello & Thanks for taking time to view my profile. I find clients are quite aware of how unhappy they are & the impact on their lives, but they don’t know how to fix it. Since 2005, I have worked alongside courageous clients to eliminate distress & make lasting remarkable change. I avidly believe most Mental Health concerns are NOT problems you are stuck with and change is achievable. I work with older adolescents and adults seeking treatment for Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Binge Eating and Complex Health & Weight Concerns. E-mail and start changing how you feel, think, do, & relate to others- change the course & joy in your life!

I specialize in trauma related symptoms and concerns. As an EMDR certified therapist I can help with complex trauma, relational trauma, phobias, mood and relationship concerns. I offer treatment intensives and day retreats. Depression, anxiety relationship concerns are often symptoms of trauma and we can explore healing further with EMDR and somatic therapies. I also support individuals and their family members struggling with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one.

Obesity Counsellors
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
