Online binge-eating therapy based in Port Perry and serving clients across Ontario.
Binge Eating Therapy for ADHD Moms
Support for binge eating that is rooted in overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and the demands of daily life with ADHD.
A non-judgmental approach that helps you understand your patterns and build sustainable ways of coping.
When Food Feels Like the Only Way to Cope
You may find yourself turning to food at the end of a long day.
After holding everything together.
After pushing through exhaustion.
After trying to keep up with everything that needed you.
In those moments, eating can feel like relief.
A pause.
A release.
A way to finally quiet everything, even if only briefly.
But afterward, the feelings shift.
Guilt.
Shame.
Frustration.
You might tell yourself it will not happen again.
And then find yourself right back in the same cycle.
You might be:
Eating past the point of fullness and feeling out of control
Using food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotional intensity
Hiding eating habits or feeling ashamed afterward
Cycling between trying to be “in control” and feeling like you have lost it
Wondering why this keeps happening, even when you are trying so hard
For many ADHD moms, binge eating is not about lack of willpower.
It is often a response to overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and a nervous system that has been pushed too far for too long.
This Is Not a Failure of Discipline
Binge eating is often misunderstood.
It is not about being lazy or lacking control.
It is often your brain and body trying to cope with stress, depletion, and constant demand.
When your system is overwhelmed, it looks for relief.
Food can become one of the most accessible ways to get that relief quickly.
Understanding this is an important first step.
Because it shifts the focus from blame to understanding.
A different way to understand and support yourself
In therapy, we focus on understanding what is driving the pattern, not just trying to stop the behaviour.
We may work on:
Understanding the role binge eating plays when you are overwhelmed
Reducing shame and self-criticism
Building awareness of emotional and nervous system states
Developing alternative ways to regulate and cope
Creating sustainable, realistic changes rather than rigid rules
Supporting your relationship with food in a more compassionate way

The goal is not perfection.
It is helping you feel more in control, more supported, and less stuck in the cycle.
ADHD-Informed, Non-Judgmental Support
My work is grounded in understanding both ADHD and the impact of chronic overwhelm.
I bring a combination of professional training and lived experience, which allows me to approach binge eating with compassion and nuance.
I have also completed additional Eating Disorder Sensitive training through Body Brave, which guides how I support clients in a way that feels safe, respectful, and non-judgmental.
This is not about strict plans or rigid rules.
It is about understanding your patterns and building ways of supporting yourself that actually work in your real life.
