My clinical experience is supporting people challenged with eating disorders and disordered eating, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, low self-esteem, relationships, stress, bereavement, and grief.
I recognize and respect the trust and vulnerability you bring, and I'm dedicated to providing a safe environment for you to express yourself, develop, and heal. I truly believe that you are your own expert, and it is a privilege to be able to journey with you in uncovering and addressing the challenges, changes, and dynamics that need attention in your life. The client-therapist relationship, in my opinion, is one of the areas where the greatest changes occur.

It takes strength and courage to share your story, but when you do, great things happen. Do you ever feel as though the entire world is resting on your shoulders? Feeling burnt out and overwhelmed? As a millennial, navigating the world of dating, work, relationships I know the feeling of being overwhelmed, burnt out and not knowing what to do. As we work together, I can help you recharge and find a calmer balance in your life. Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of navigating a bicultural identity?

I enjoy working with clients who appreciate that in getting to their best selves and quality of life must look at their whole health. Life is hard and all the more challenging when we aren't taking great care of ourselves physically, emotionally, nutritionally, financially, spiritually or mentally. Learning how to DO things differently matters given that just wanting and talking about change simply isn't enough. Helping clients understand and heal in their relationships past and present is key to building a solid foundation that supports better overall health and quality of life.

If you feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and feel that no one around you seems to understand, you are not alone. It can be very challenging to navigate day to day life while trying to make sense of this anxiety and stress. Many changes including breaking up, divorce, job loss, death of a loved one can lead to feeling lost or stuck. Trying to balance two cultures where on one side is your family's expectations and on the other side is western world's norms around dating, relationships and work can cause confusion around identity and self worth.

I have been a clinical therapist for over thirty years. I have worked and continue to work with a variety of clients experiencing hardships or challenges in their lives. These include marital issues, parent/child conflicts, separation/divorce, parental alienation, grief, depression/anxiety, work-related problems, adolescent self-esteem and bullying and childhood abuse. I value the therapeutic relationship that is at all times safe, validating and nonjudgmental.

Eating Disorders Counsellors

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.
