Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Sainte Anne, MB.

Food is one of the first ways we learn to receive comfort. It is also sometimes one of the few ways people find success in gaining a sense of control in their lives. Whatever your relationship with food might presently look like, I am committed to helping you get what you need in healthier and more effective ways. This generally involves building up a 'tool box' of strategies to regulate distress (stress, anxiety, shame, etc.) and exploring opportunities for transformation in other areas of life.

I help clients overcome addictive relationships with food. Like all addictions, the behavior is the tip of the iceberg, used to cope with underlying thoughts and emotions. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain insight into underlying concerns, gaining coping skills to more effectively navigate these issues. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), helping clients achieve a sense of freedom and control over their lives, leading to long-term change.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.
