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.

Healing often begins with learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you already offer everyone else.
