Women's Issues Therapists in Port Coquitlam, BC

If you have been carrying the effects of trauma for a while, I imagine it feels pretty heavy. You may find your inner voice is harsh, telling you that you do not deserve a better life. You may be struggling with the physical impacts of trauma such as tension and fatigue that do not seem to go away. You may notice being disconnected from yourself and unsure how to connect with others. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck and unsure how to cope and move forward. Let’s create a space together to explore the impacts your trauma has on you to make it feel lighter and support you in reconnecting to yourself and others.

If this is you, I may be the therapist for you.
