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 with food, your body or your emotions doesn't feel right anymore.
Maybe your relationship with food feels exhausting or all consuming.
Maybe you swing between trying to be "in-control" and feeling completely overwhelmed.
Maybe you're hard on yourself in ways you can't seem to turn off.
You might look like you're functioning on the outside, but inside, things feel heavy, confusing, or difficult to manage.
Often. these patterns didn't come out of nowhere.
When your needs weren't fully seen, supported, or understood earlier in life, you learn to cope the best you can. Over time, that can shape how you relate to food, your body, your emotions, and other people.
At some point, something in you starts to say, "I can't keep doing this the same way."
In our work together, we gently slow things down and make sense off what's underneath these patterns, without judgment, pressure or rushing the process.
Whether you're struggling with disordered eating, emotional overwhelm, or the lasting impact of earlier experiences, therapy can help you move forward:
Feeling more at ease with food and your body.
A clearer, more grounded connection with your emotions.
Relating to yourself with less criticism and more steadiness.
This is a space where you can show up as you are and begin to shift what's no longer working, so you can feel more steady, connected and like yourself again.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
If you're unsure, a free 15 - minute consultation is a simple chance to see if it feels like a fit.

About Karen
Like many of you, I have faced my own life issues, and began the healing journey. I know how hard it is to reach out and start to tell your story.
I also know the relief of understanding my struggles, of learning to care for myself and my body, and the experience of releasing long held pain and feeling steadier.
Because of this, my approach to counselling is not just professional, but it's grounded in real life understanding. 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 in private practice, I specialize in working with eating disorders and the experience of anxiety, people pleasing, self-doubt 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.
