Infertility, Anxiety & Trauma Counselling in Coquitlam, BC
Hi, I’m Kirsten!
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Coquitlam, BC, specializing in infertility, unexpected childlessness, anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress.
Many of the individuals I work with are navigating fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, or the quiet grief that comes when life unfolds differently than hoped. Others come feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, high-functioning stress, or trauma that feels stuck in the body.
While this work holds deep emotion, I’m also known for my warmth and sense of humour. Laughter can be a powerful part of healing — especially when paired with compassion, nervous system awareness, and space to process what’s real.
If you're looking for infertility counselling in Coquitlam or support for anxiety and trauma, I invite you to learn more about how we can work together.
“I support individuals navigating infertility, unexpected childlessness, anxiety, trauma, and stress, offering a safe, compassionate space to heal and thrive.
