PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES

Psychotherapy should feel collaborative and empowering.  Whether we're working one-on-one or with your chosen supports, we will have clear goals to guide each appointment. Most importantly, therapy will always be a non-judgmental experience with lots of compassionate and communication throughout the process.

I offer services for eating disorders, disordered eating, recovery maintenance, perfectionism, issues of self-esteem and self worth, support during times of transition and support for caregivers to someone with mental health concerns.  You can learn more about my services, fees and availability below. 

Before meeting in person, we will schedule a free phone consultation. This is an opportunity to answer questions you might have before making  a decision about starting therapy.

​Psychotherapy is goal directed treatment that can address a variety of concerns. I use CBT, DBT, MET, Attachment, Trauma Informed & Mindfulness based approaches to psychotherapy.  I have completed San'Yas indigenous cultural safety training.

You may benefit from Psychotherapy with me if you relate to one or more of the following:

• You struggle with change/transition
• If you think talking to someone could help you feel better
• You have concerns around eating, or body image and self-worth
• You want help to maintain recovery/prevent relapse from a mental health concern
• You need support as the family, friend or partner of someone who is struggling with their mental health
• You need support deciding if you're ready to start making a change (motivational enhancement therapy)

Psychotherapy is typically a minimum of 12, weekly or bi-weekly sessions and can extend based on your needs.​

I am specialized in the treatment of eating disorders and offer three evidence-based approaches to treatment. Evidence-based means that these therapies have been researched and found to be effective in scientific studies.

I also provide general counselling and psychotherapy services for those who are not yet ready for treatment and/or those looking to maintain their recovery.
