What issues can therapy help with?

Therapy can support you with just about any challenge that’s getting in the way of how you want to feel or live. Some people come in during a big life change, others when they feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
I work with clients on things like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and healing from trauma.
Therapy can also be a space to get to know yourself better, explore patterns, and build skills for coping. Whether your struggles feel “big” or “small,” if it matters to you, it matters in therapy.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?

Your first session is really about getting to know each other and making sure you feel comfortable. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you have.
I’ll share a bit about how I work, weaving together experiential therapies like IFS, schema and cognitive-behavioural therapies, EMDR, emotion-focused therapy, and attachment/relational models for issues such as eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and OCD.
Clients tend to leave the first session feeling relieved to have taken the first step and with a clearer sense of what our work together might look like and how they can make meaningful changes.

How will I know if therapy is helping?

Progress in therapy can look different for everyone, but some common signs include feeling more understanding for your unique circumstances, noticing shifts in your thoughts or emotions, responding differently to stress, and feeling more connected to yourself and your emotions. People often describe an experience of moving from reacting to responding, with more mindfulness and insight.
Sometimes change is subtle, and sometimes it’s more noticeable. Our hope is that you experience significantly less symptoms and significantly more self-trust and self-confidence.
In our work together, we’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is meeting your needs and moving you toward your goals.

How do I know if I have an eating disorder?

Eating disorders and disordered eating cause significant distress and impairment in your life. If thoughts about food, weight, or your body feel overwhelming, interfere with your daily life, or lead to behaviors like restricting, bingeing, purging, or rigid food rules, it may be a sign of an eating disorder. Everyone in every body deserves support. If food-related stressors and body image concerns are impacting your well-being, it matters. Reaching out to a qualified professional can help you better understand what’s going on and what kind of support would be helpful.

How can I improve my relationship with food? How does therapy help?

Improving your relationship with food starts with reducing rigid rules, rebuilding regular and balanced eating patterns, and learning to respond to your body with flexibility and self-compassion. Therapy can help you understand the underlying thoughts and emotions driving food struggles, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical skills to feel more at ease with eating. With the right support, food can become less stressful and more easeful over time.
