Specialized Eating Disorder Therapy

Are you interested in improving your relationship with food & your body?


Change and recovery are possible.

Move toward body acceptance and food freedom.

Youth, adults, and families experiencing the impact of disordered eating/eating disorders benefit from specialized treatment.

  • Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned. Moving at your pace. Collaborative decision-making.

  • Recovery is not linear and can be a challenging journey. Every step counts, and your progress will always be recognized and highlighted.

  • Helping you develop a strong community care team, potentially including family, spouses, friends, doctors, dieticians, and psychiatrists.

Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches

  • Family Based Treatment (FBT) for Adolescents

    We prioritize evidence-based treatment approaches for adolescents dealing with eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED).

    Treatment is designed to empower parents and caregivers with the tools necessary to support their children through the healing process.

    Youth are supported to gain more awareness and insight. Ultimately, the hope is for them to self-manage and stay healthy long-term!

    FBT follows two phases:

    1. Refeeding and symptom interruption, aiming to restore nutritional balance and address harmful behaviours surrounding food. During this stage, caregivers play a critical role in providing meal support and intervening in unhealthy eating behaviours.

    2. The gradual return of independence with food choices and exercise. This transition is essential for fostering a healthy relationship with food and promoting autonomy while ensuring ongoing support from caregivers.

    Our framework is deeply rooted in the Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating principles.

    We believe that with the right support and guidance, both teens and their families can navigate the challenges of eating disorders and work toward lasting recovery.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/DBT for Adults

    Our top priority is exploring and improving your relationship with food, exercise, and your body. Clients are supported to address body image concerns and cultivate a greater sense of body acceptance.

    Intuitive eating promotes a flexible, mindful, and compassionate approach to food. If you’re body is malnourished, we can support you in implementing mechanical eating first.

    Utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities, clients can work towards healing from various eating disorders, including Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID, OSFED, Bulimia, and Anorexia Nervosa.

    My approach is deeply rooted in the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating emphasizing dignity and respect for all people.

    Clients are equipped with tools and strategies to foster a positive relationship with food and their bodies, helping them to break free from harmful cycles and develop sustainable habits that enhance their quality of life.

    Healing is viewed holistically and clients are encouraged to take healing at their own pace. Clients feel supported every step of the way.

    I am also experienced in advocacy and can help you navigate complex systems, including referrals to the regional eating disorders program and tertiary eating disorder programs across BC.

Eating disorders are usually a way to cope with what feels unbearable

Sometimes it’s a loss of control

Sometimes it’s a deep insecurity

Sometimes it’s something traumatic that changes how safe you feel in the world/body

We promise to take a trauma-informed lens and consider the full context for how this painful cycle developed
