More about Joelle:

Joelle began her career as a Registered Dietitian, specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image. Over time, she discovered a deep passion for mental health and for helping clients build meaningful connections with themselves and others. Her master’s thesis explored the link between ADHD symptoms, body awareness, and intuitive eating, combining her expertise in nutrition and mental health. Joelle works from attachment-based, somatic, and humanistic perspectives, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore how past and present experiences shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. She partners with clients collaboratively, supporting them to navigate challenges, set goals, and foster self-understanding and resilience. Outside of therapy, Joelle enjoys dancing, moving her body, and indulging in Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream.
