Mallory is experienced in helping people navigate eating disorders or disordered eating. She can also support you to overcome related challenges such as emotion regulation, major life changes, relationships, low self-esteem, and lack of motivation. Mallory recognizes that people living with an eating disorder often feel isolated, confused, or ashamed, so she also supports parents, siblings, friends, and other loved ones who are touched by an eating disorder. Mallory approaches these deeply personal topics free of judgment, and understands that you might have conflicting feelings about change.

Mallory supports people of all ages with anxiety and depression. She realizes that life can get complicated, but believes that your challenges don’t define you. She can help you target intrusive thoughts, enhance your sense of self, learn new coping skills, and empower you to practice them in your everyday life. Mallory uses a strength-based approach to help you refine your ability to communicate, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts.

Mallory’s calm and welcoming nature creates a safe space where you can be vulnerable. She draws from various therapeutic approaches and a diverse skill set to support you. Mallory strongly believes that you are the expert of your own story, and she will tailor her approach to your needs and desires.

In her personal life, Mallory values a healthy work-life balance, which includes daily self-care. She enjoys walking with her new puppy Daisy, powering through a Peloton workout, or baking anything with chocolate. Mallory appreciates the power of laughter and is never afraid to make fun of herself. Her goal, above all else, is to help you find a reason to smile every day.

Q&A

Are you a paw-rent? Tell us about your pet!
Daisy is almost 3 years old and is a mix between a miniature poodle and Havanese. Her favourite trick is to “play dead” or to hide her treats around the house to save for later. She is extremely loving and affectionate AND becomes extremely sassy when she doesn’t get her way!
What's your favourite guilty pleasure song?
Anything by the 90’s early 2000’s boy bands. Last summer I got to see my all-time favourite, The Backstreet Boys!
How do you describe therapy?
I view therapy as a collaborative relationship between therapist and client that involves mutually agreed-upon goals. Whether the individual is looking for validation, problem-solving, or simply a good listener, therapy is the vessel by which these desires are obtained.
