I approach my practice from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, size-inclusive, anti-racist, LGBT2SQ-positive, and non-judgmental perspective. I strive to make my work client-centred, integrative, and unique to each individual.

Eating disorders, disordered eating, and body dysmorphia are often manifestations of anxiety when harbouring deeper-rooted issues. They can—and have—acted as a means for control, survival, and even protection. In many cases, we try to change our bodies to control the weight of trauma, social pressures, or a lost sense of autonomy. Recovery & healing from eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and trauma, should involve taking a deeper look beyond the behaviour itself.

I approach my practice from a psychodynamic, integrative perspective, using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens. My practice is client-centred, and therefore specific to each individual and their circumstance. I aim to support you with exploring experience, identity, self-esteem, and vulnerability, to break free from toxic patterns with food & body. .

I have been professionally trained in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). Through CBT and DBT we can attempt to learn or re-learn more adaptive and constructive ways of living.

I am also trained in experiential modalities, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, and structural dissociation parts work. These approaches are useful in self-exploration, identity confusion, inner-child work, and understanding our internal “parts”. Most importantly, these approaches foster healing, confidence, mindfulness, and self-worth.
