You’re high-functioning, yet internally, you’re trapped by hyper-criticism and the weight of "doing enough." In a world where emotional suppression is the norm, you’ve mastered performing while carrying the silent exhaustion of burnout, familial friction, and impossible standards. You need more than just "coping skills". You need a grounded space to untangle the roots of your overwhelm. My goal is to help you move from chronic overcommitment toward genuine agency and self-trust. We start with a human-to-human connection, to find a balance between your drive and your well-being.

I believe that each individual has their own unique way of perceiving the world and experiencing the world around them. In addition to symptom reduction, I also emphasise the importance of attending to core issues and the context with which one's distress develops.

I use a Trauma-Informed EMDR approach to treat clients dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, interpersonal struggles, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation stemming from acute or complex trauma.
Are you struggling to stay focused, be happy, and trust others? Do you get flashbacks and intrusive thoughts? You may be fed up with procrastinating at work, feeling cut off from other people or being angry and snappy a lot of the time. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to start seeking deep and meaningful relationships and put the past behind you. You’re ready to feel more confident at work and in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to love who you are and be hopeful and optimistic about the future.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind (Quote Fritz Perls).

Together, therapist and client can journey to help you deepen your own perspective of yourself and better understand how you function as an organism/environment field - a biological, thinking, feeling being - and do both inner, and relational work to support you with the challenges that present themselves in your life at this given moment.

Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety or unmanageable feelings? Maybe you have difficulties in relationships or at work, or are processing a loss or bereavement. Some people might not be sure what the problem is but have a sense of something not being right, or are feeling a general dissatisfaction with life.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour 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 counselling 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 behavioural 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 behaviour, 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 recognise 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 behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
