Eating Disorder and Trauma Therapy for Anxiety, People-Pleasing, and Patterns That Feel Hard to Change
Online therapy serving Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford and across British Columbia
You're here because something doesn't feel right anymore.
Maybe your relationship with food feels exhausting, overwhelming or all consuming.
Maybe you've learned to cope using food which once made sense but now feels like it's holding you back.
Maybe something in your relationship isn't working and you're not sure how to change it.
Or perhaps your emotions feel overwhelming, confusing or hard to trust.
You might not call it "trauma," but experiences from your past, especially ones where your needs weren't fully seen, supported or understood, it can quietly reshape how you relate to yourself, food, your body and others.
At some point, something in you says, "I can't keep doing this the same way."
Our work is about gently making sense of what's going on beneath the surface, without judgement, without pressure and at your pace.
Whether you're navigating an eating disorder, emotional struggles or the impact of earlier life experiences, we work together to create space for something different.
A more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
A clearer, more grounded connection with your emotions.
A more secure, fulfilling relationship with your self & others.
Counselling is a place to slow down, to be met where you are and to begin untangling the patterns that no longer serve you. So you can move through your life feeling more steady, connected and like yourself again.
You don't have to figure this out alone.

About Karen
Living near mountains and lakes, I often spend time walking local trails with friends or family with a coffee/tea in hand, or kayaking on the lake. I enjoy exploring local music, art and food, and at home I have a handsome, chill, black cat. In quieter moment, I write women's fiction and continue to follow my curiosity as a life long learner.
Like many of you, I have faced my own life issues, and taken the healing journey. Because of this, my approach to counselling is not just professional, but it's grounded in real life understanding. I enjoy genuine conversation with people about their lives. So much can go into the making of a life. While some experiences can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I believe change is possible, and that a more meaningful and fulfilling life can be created over time.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC and hold a masters degree in Counselling. With over twenty-five years of experience in a private practice, I specialize in working with eating disorders and trauma that can look like anxiety, people pleasing and difficult patterns in your life and relationships. I participate in on-going counselling education and meet with other therapists.
It's a privilege to hear people's stories and support them as they move through their struggle towards something better. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.
