Hi, I'm Kourtney from KR Therapy Services. Whether you’ve experienced unimaginable loss, you’ve become a caregiver, or you're navigating illness- you might feel like you don't recognize yourself anymore. You may feel numb, disconnected, and overwhelmed. You may feel like you've tried everything and still wake with the same heaviness. If this sounds familiar that's often the weight of unprocessed emotions, guilt, trauma, or just the disorienting fog of a life that’s no longer what it was. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating complex grief, trauma, and identity shifts through profound loss.
I use a strongly relational approach that will focus on safety, collaboration, and honesty to build the foundation for our work. Clients often share they feel stuck or discouraged because nothing seems to help. If you feel you’ve tried everything, consider reaching out one last time. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
Together, we’ll work to rebuild a sense of identity and self-trust through profound loss. If you’re ready to do the inner work and begin healing at your own pace, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
