Healing from anxiety and trauma requires more than just talking — it’s a whole-person journey. At my Coquitlam-based practice, I offer a brain-wise, body-wise therapy approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit to create deep, lasting change. Whether you’re experiencing chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, or symptoms of trauma, this holistic therapy in Coquitlam supports your full self — not just your symptoms.
If you're seeking anxiety therapy in Coquitlam or trauma counselling in BC, this integrative approach may offer the clarity and balance you’ve been searching for.
Understanding the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection in Healing
In my work as a Registered Psychologist in Coquitlam, I view healing through the lens of the mind-body-spirit connection. These three dimensions are deeply intertwined
and true transformation happens when we support all of them together.
-
Mind: Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions shape how we see the world and ourselves.
-
Body: The body holds stress and trauma, often long after a triggering event has passed.
-
Spirit: A connection to values, purpose, and meaning offers grounding, clarity, and direction.
When all three are aligned, we cultivate emotional resilience, reduce anxiety, and create a path towards long-term well-being.
How Trauma and Anxiety Impact the Nervous System
Trauma and chronic anxiety activate our nervous system’s natural defense mechanisms — fight, flight, or freeze. While these reactions are protective, staying in survival mode can lead to emotional numbness, tension, overthinking, or feeling stuck in old patterns.
In therapy, we gently bring awareness to these nervous system responses through a body-based and holistic, trauma-informed approach. By integrating somatic, cognitive, and spiritual tools, we support the nervous system in finding balance — not through force, but through compassionate regulation and reconnection.
Holistic Therapy Modalities Available in Coquitlam
As a trauma-informed psychologist in Coquitlam, I draw from a variety of evidence-based, whole-person therapies:
-
Somatic Experiencing (SE): A body-based approach that helps release trauma stored in the nervous system and supports emotional safety.
-
Self-Regulation Therapy (SRT): Helps build tools to calm the body, manage emotional triggers, and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
-
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Supports the mind in recognizing and shifting limiting beliefs and thought patterns.
-
Spiritual Intelligence Coaching: Using tools like the SQ21 Assessment, we explore spiritual awareness, life purpose, and inner guidance.
Whether you're searching for somatic trauma therapy in Coquitlam, CBT for anxiety, or spiritual counselling in BC, we can personalize your treatment for your needs.
