Infertility, Anxiety & Trauma Counselling, Coquitlam, B.C.
When life doesn't look the way you thought it would, you don't have to navigate it alone.
I support individuals navigating infertility, unexpected childlessness, anxiety, trauma, and
chronic stress, offering a safe, compassionate space to make sense of what you're experiencing and find a steadier way forward.
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 the lasting effects of trauma.
While this work can hold 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 with anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress, I invite you to learn more about working with me.
You can't always change what has happened. But you can change how you move forward.
Counselling can offer a space to slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and find ways to feel more grounded, connected, and supported.

What Clients Can Expect
Counselling is collaborative and tailored to you. Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing and identify what might help, whether that's building coping strategies, developing grounding and mindfulness skills, understanding patterns that keep you feeling stuck, or creating space to process grief and difficult experiences.

Approach & Philosophy
My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and narrative therapy, alongside EMDR-informed and somatic approaches. We'll work at a pace that feels manageable, creating space for both the difficult parts and the possibility of feeling more grounded, connected, and hopeful.
