Family dysfunction runs on a spectrum. Some recognize their dynamic is imperfect and try to support each other more. But others refuse to address their issues, leading to blame, a lack of boundaries, and, often, chaos.

My Story

If you are struggling with bulimia, or other disordered eating, you have likely promised yourself time and time again that this will be the last time that you engage in these behaviours, assuring yourself that you know what to do and that you can stop anytime. You may have managed a few days, weeks or months symptom-free, but the behaviours have always returned. Although it may be difficult to imagine getting through life’s ups and downs without your disordered eating, I can help you to develop new ways of coping and to achieve lasting recovery.

I believe that bulimia and other disordered eating exist for good reasons (albeit perhaps not the most functional or healthiest), and that with education, treatment and learning new ways of coping, you can let go of your unhealthy behaviours. I work in collaboration with my clients in a respectful and inclusive manner, and help to facilitate change when, and if, they are ready to do so.

I have been told that my approach helps to inspire hope and motivation, as well as to reduce the stigma and shame of having, and seeking help for, an eating disorder or any other mental health issue.

I am a psychotherapist, registered clinical counsellor and registered social worker who has trained and specialized in the treatment of eating disorders for over 20 years. However, I also see clients who struggle with a diversity of other concerns, among other issues including drug and alcohol abuse, sexual assault and abuse, workplace harassment, depression and anxiety.
