Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Vaughan, NS.

As an addictions specialist and having worked extensively with people with both borderline and PTSD/CPTSD I often encounter people with a history of eating disorders. I approach them through the lens of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach with the idea that each person is unique, developed their eating disorder or problem with food in a unique way, and therefore their treatment will also be unique. Self directed behavior therapy, cognitive/cognitive behavior therapy - are useful tools but they are not the total answer. Usually people need a caring and compassionate approach that teaches them to be gentle with themselves, accept their bodies, and learn to make changes slowly. It works!

If you’ve struggled with disordered eating, you are all too familiar with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and a disconnect from the body. You may also have a constant need for control while at the same time feeling a frightening and exhausting loss of all control. Please know that none of this is your choice, but rather is a state of stress and overwhelm while you do your best to feel better. I have nothing but compassion for the distress that comes with food-related challenges, and you have my commitment to help you care for the difficult underlying emotions involved. Together, we will create a safe space to move towards healing and a safe relationship with food and the body.
