I am a Master of Social Work, psychotherapist, and Dietitian. For over 20 years, I have specialized in helping individuals and families to successfully move beyond the effects of a range of mental health and dietary challenges including eating disorders. Our journey together is paced as we attend to mental health, emotional, &/or eating management skills-building needs. Along the way, it is often necessary to identify "taken-for-granted" thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours that no longer align with your evolving life goals. Together, we rebuild your skills, confidence, hope, life, and important relationships.
