Hello! I’m so happy to introduce myself to you!

I live in Wasaga Beach, Ontario with my husband, Dr. Furtado, two (teenage) children, our dog, our cockatiel and our leopard gecko. Our home life is busy, chaotic at times, as we navigate four strong personalities and various interests, needs and schedules! Our family journey toward healthy eating has been complicated by challenges that are faced by everyone in this complex, and challenging world. Because of our own experiences, I understand the need for practical solutions that add to your quality of life. As a psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in the mental health professions, helping others acheive their goals and experience long term success is my passion.

During the counselling appointments in our 12 week program, I aim to transform how you think and feel about food, using evidence-based strategies that are rooted in kindness and self-compassion. Throughout our work together, I will explain why certain strategies are effective and why other approaches may not work well for you. Understanding how your mind works is a powerful tool that will enable you to manage your behaviour long after our sessions are over.

When one person in a family, relationship or community is able to change and grow, the people around them also benefit. By welcoming you into our community at the Medical Weight Loss Clinic of Ontario, with kindness and without judgement, we hope to help you not only lose weight but also learn how to strengthen your relationship with yourself and the people you care about.
