Accepting new clients! I specialize in eating disorders/eating difficulties, body image, self esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. If you struggle with insecurities, self criticism, overwhelm, managing emotions, intrusive thoughts, or self doubt, I would love to support you. Counselling can shift deeply held belief patterns, heal emotional wounding & trauma, teach you new ways of coping, increase self confidence, calm, joy, and find deeper meaning and connection. My integrated perspective includes both the body and mind. I am also an EMDR therapist, reiki practitioner, and a guided breathwork facilitator.
I specialize in eating difficulties (yo yo dieting, restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, binge-purge, etc.), body image, self esteem, and processing emotions. I focus on: people-pleasing, shame, trauma, self worth, self control, personal growth, and self-acceptance. I will help to guide you back to your confident, relaxed, & connected self!
It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help. I would love to help you rediscover your authentic self, shift the thoughts, feelings, & patterns that no longer serve you, feel safe in your body, and live a more joyful, peaceful life. I also have an office therapy cat to support you!

The main issues I can help you with are disordered eating, body image issues, and anxiety. We first conduct an intake assessment, and decide on goals for counselling. These issues are typically treated using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (focus on changing thoughts and behavioural patterns), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (focus on emotional awareness, mindfulness, and self acceptance).

I use cognitive behavioural (CBT), dialectical behavioural (DBT) therapy, and EMDR to process thoughts, feelings, sensations, and heal trauma. We build awareness around your patterns, and start by making small, sustainable changes. I also focus on connecting back to your body safely (somatic awareness), noticing where stress, tension, & traumas are held, and learning strategies to release them.
