I am glad that you made it here today! If you struggle with food and body image, you have come to the right place. Maybe you think about food all the time, or yo-yo diet, or maybe you find yourself restricting what you eat without knowing why, or how to stop. Food and eating are a part of our culture that often become warped and distorted. Whether you have internalized messages that state that you have to be a certain size to have value, or you feel like food allows you to numb out, constant thoughts about food and body image can be exhausting.
By seeking help - by looking for a therapist - you have taken the first step towards healing, wholeness, and making peace with yourself. As a Registered Psychologist, my job is to meet you where you are at and bring my expertise to your situation so that, together, we can come up with solutions that work for you.
I work with individuals of all ages to understand what is at the root of their challenges with food and disordered eating. I can help you with weight management and finding a lifelong, sustainable approach to food, nutrition, and movement, that doesn't consume you. I support individuals working toward or in recovery from anorexia, bulimia, and bingeing.
