As a clinical psychologist, I am trained in DBT, Schema Therapy and CBT to treat emotional dysregulation (including BPD) and Eating Disorders (specialising in Binge Eating Disorder).
I offer a warm, non-judgemental, collaborative therapy environment. I believe a careful assessment of your needs is important at the outset to make sure we're not missing anything important. From there, I work with you to determine what you want to change and how we're going to get you there.

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist. The internal world is a complex place, and the challenges each of us face reflect that complexity. Psychotherapy can help people to understand themselves deeply – their feelings, dreams, needs, and struggles. My experience is that the more we understand ourselves, the better we become at making authentic and creative decisions in life and in relationships. Many of my patients have faced early life adversities and now work hard to generate self esteem or to navigate issues relating to identity, daily living, and intimate relationships.

I am a clinical psychologist that provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. People I work with often express difficulties with feeling "stuck" in their life; they are grappling with a conflict that they have problems resolving. Many people also present with profound issues with relating to themselves and with other people, contributing to a sense of isolation. These issues may prevent a person from engaging in what is meaningful to them.

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.
