Registered Social Worker, MEd, Counselling Psychology, BSW, RSW, RCC
If you are struggling with bulimia, or other disordered eating, you have likely promised yourself time and time again that this will be the last time that you engage in these behaviours, assuring yourself that you know what to do and that you can stop anytime. You have managed a few days, weeks or months symptom-free, but the behaviours have always returned. Although it may be difficult to imagine getting through life's ups and downs without your disordered eating, I can help you to develop new ways of coping and to achieve lasting recovery. And you will set the pace of your recovery. My approach is to work in a respectful and inclusive manner, helping to facilitate change when you're ready. I firmly believe that you have your eating disorder for very good reasons, and that with education, treatment and learning new ways of coping, you can recover as have so many of my clients. I am told that my approach helps to inspire hope and motivation, as well as to reduce the stigma and shame of seeking help. Therapy is individualized, drawing upon my many years of experience treating bulimia and other eating disorders. Please check out CJCCS.com for more details, as well as testimonials from clients and colleagues.

When you feel like you need to control what you eat and feel guilty if you don't follow certain rules about food, you might be getting caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a complex relationship with food that affects people of all ages and genders. There are different types of eating disorders but symptoms typically range from a mild preoccupation with food and body image to a deep fear of gaining weight, body dysmorphia, excessive exercising, purging, and binging. Eating disorders are insidious conditions that creep up over time. Often it starts as a desire to lose a few pounds, tone up, and be healthier. However, it can take over your whole life and make you feel helpless and trapped in an endless cycle of preoccupation about what you eat and how you look. Additionally, negative body image has been shown to be linked to dieting and eating disorders. Over time, your body image concerns can lead to attempts to control how you look. You might be trying different diets, exercising more, or trying to eat healthier. This could mean cutting out food groups, fasting, and/or excessive exercising to control your shape and weight. These are painful cycles that can leave your feeling frustrated with yourself and at a loss as to how to break free from the endless preoccupation of food and weight. If you are wondering if you have an eating disorder or have a loved one who is struggling, do not hesitate to reach out. I have helped many people restore their relationship with food and live a more balanced life. Please contact me if you would like to learn more.

Eating disorders make sense to Chad. They're not healthy, but he gets why people end up with them and can offer support in overcoming this.

Eating disorders are some of the most misunderstood psychological conditions there are. I have heard a significant number of my clients say that their previous therapists were incapable of addressing their issues with food. How eating disorders work, how they are experienced by the client and how they are viewed by society all need to be significantly improved. I myself suffered from non-purge bulimia and binge eating disorder for a time in my 30's, and no one around me, including my therapists, understood what it was like to suffer through these.

With the psychodynamic approach, the client will know the causes and roots that led him to his problem; for what it is necessary an in-depth analysis of the personality by putting greater focus on the current and past experiences. This will give the client the opportunity to build a new present and future understanding and identifying triggers and own emotions.
