Hello!

At the core of my practice, I believe that a meaningful therapeutic connection can spark change. Talk therapy is a powerful tool to build and enhance acceptance, connection, and healing. I feel privileged to hold space for people to process the difficult feelings and pain that may arise during the counselling process, and I am skilled in navigating these experiences. I use an integrative approach, understanding that our distress and strategies for coping are informed by our biology, history, surroundings, relationships, and social context. I am told I bring warmth, genuineness, and a sense of humour and joy to therapy.

I primarily work with people to heal from disordered eating, eating disorders, feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, depression, anxiety, and grief. Since 2010, I have worked with individuals struggling with trauma, substance use, and chronic health conditions including HIV. From 2017-2021, I worked at the South Vancouver Island Eating Disorders Program, providing eating disorder treatment to clients of all ages. I am skilled in Family Based Treatment (FBT), DBT Skills, and CBT for Anxiety and OCD. I have a strong social justice lens and use a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach.

I look forward to scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if working together may be a good fit for you or your loved one
