Message to clients

HOW I WORK:

If you have willingness to consider new perspectives and to receive active support, to collaborate, and take small positive actions, let’s get started on your healing and recovery.

You may not be sure if you have disordered eating but you've developed disrupted relationships to food and body. You may be struggling to persist with depression, trauma, and anxiety challenges. You wish you could have a more satisfying relationship with better communication. A thorough evaluation with me is a good place to start.

We’ll celebrate the creativity and genius of your survival. We can review and understand the unhelpful ways of coping that are providing temporary relief while targetting more lasting ways to soothe, calm, and de-stress.

I will persist with you and help you learn how to persist in tough times.

I hope to help you develop curiosity about yourself and to transform any bullying or judgmental voices from your past, to ones of encouragement and self-compassion.

Most importantly, we'll focus on your strengths, how to help you build a life worth living, how to find community, purpose, and joy.
