Maybe you feel stuck in a cycle of restricting, binge eating, starting over, and feeling bad afterward.
I work with adults navigating eating disorders, binge eating, disordered eating, body image concerns, perfectionism, anxiety, and self-worth struggles. For some people, food becomes a way to cope with stress or overwhelm. For others, it becomes tied to control, shame, and never feeling good enough.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by the pressure to always get it "right"? You’re not alone. Many of the folks I work with have spent years navigating environments that didn’t fully see or understand them—leading to anxiety, shame, burnout, or a deep sense of disconnection

I have a particular passion for working with trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, relational wounds, relationships, and major life transitions.
Maybe you’ve spent years being the strong one. The one who keeps going, keeps showing up, keeps taking care of everyone else. From the outside, your life may look functional, even successful, but inside, you’re exhausted. Perhaps you’re carrying anxiety, grief, shame, relationship struggles, trauma, or a complicated relationship with food and your body. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or like you’re constantly fighting battles that nobody else can see. The strategies that no longer serve you make sense, but maybe it's time to release holding it all together.

Welcome, I’m Alicia. I use EMDR therapy to process trauma and experiences that still shape how you feel, think, and respond.

My style is direct, grounded, and attuned, offering a space that is both supportive and focused, where meaningful work can unfold.
Alongside trauma work, I support athletes and creatives in clearing blocks, accessing flow, and performing with clarity and confidence.

Often, my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burdened by past traumas, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They yearn for relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Many seek a path toward self-acceptance, healthier relationships, and a more balanced life. Their goals are as unique as their stories—some wish to break free from chronic stress or persistent sadness, while others hope to reconnect with their bodies and build resilience from the inside out. Ultimately, they desire meaningful change and the skills to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

I understand that most likely you have been trying your best and pretending that life is OKAY, but now the heaviness of putting on a brave face is getting you down. You have tried a few things ( reading books, maybe attending therapy) but you find yourself repeating the same old habits of ignoring and pushing down your feelings. Your unresolved TRAUMA is making all your decisions right now. Most likely, most of the time, your trauma leaves you feeling quite unsafe in your body ( panic attacks, low mood, etc). You DO NOT want to feel like this anymore but you are also a little nervous about whether therapy can "really work"?

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
