Intergenerational cycles occur when violence, abuse, and/or trauma are passed down from one generation to the next. Learning about our past is a key part of identifying and dismantling these patterns that may no longer serve us. This provides us with the opportunity to break free from intergenerational cycles so that we can live a more meaningful life.

You may feel the responsibility and guilt that comes with the expectations of others. This might look like the external pressure of familial expectations, cultural norms, or gender norms.

It might look like doing as you’re expected and not as you want. Maybe you’re putting yourself and your needs last. This can lead to feeling powerless, confused, and misaligned with your values.

Together, we can explore what is most important to you to help you lead a life that feels good for you.

The longest relationship we will ever be in is with ourselves. Yet, we are typically our own biggest critic. Together, we can begin inviting compassion and kindness into your life by exploring your needs and boundaries in different areas of your life. We can also begin to build a self-care routine that is sustainable and works for YOU.

Trauma can manifest in many ways and can impact your day-to-day life. I use an integrative, trauma-focused, and client-centered approach to working through difficult memories, thoughts, and emotions. Together, we will create a roadmap for treatment to help us get to the root of the problem and manage the symptoms that you are currently experiencing.

Our early childhood experiences tend to shape the way we view the world and the way we relate to others in our adulthood. Together, we can bring awareness to old patterns that have been affecting your relationships and create room for change.
