Clinical Focus Areas
When you are the one changing the family narrative, you are navigating much more than daily stress—you are carrying the heavy weight of historical wounds. I provide clinical trauma therapy to help you put down that weight and heal from the unique burden of being the first to heal. We move toward a steady life built on your own intentional design rather than old survival scripts.
Survival Patterns
I help you heal the survival habits that keep you trapped in fixed roles, like the "family protector" or the "designated success story." We address the constant feeling of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" that keeps you in a state of high alert. Together, we explore how to put down the weight of your history so you can move toward a steady, authentic self that no longer needs to be on guard.
Inherited Patterns
Changing your family trajectory requires a deep understanding of the scripts you inherited but did not write. I help those who have reached new levels of access navigate the unique burden of achieving more while still feeling tethered to old family expectations. We target the "betrayal guilt" that surfaces when you choose your own path, transforming historical wounds into a resilient, self-defined legacy.
Identity & Growth
After years of living for the expectations of others, it can be difficult to find your own compass. This focus is for those who feel like a "fraud" despite their progress due to old family scripts that minimize their worth. Using a practical, evidence-based approach, we help you unhook from self-doubt and shift from surviving expectations toward building your own future.
Somatic Recovery
Trauma is a physical state of being that often manifests as chronic restlessness or a body that will not turn off. By incorporating somatic awareness, we address the physical storage of trauma in your system. We identify where your body holds historical stress and work to release that "high alert" energy, allowing you to reclaim a sense of internal safety and physical ease.
Our Clinical Roadmap
We move beyond the history of your story to actively shift how you relate to the internal world you carry today.
Phase 01: Openness (Finding Flexibility)
Dropping the defensive armor and learning to sit with the discomfort of breaking old patterns. We work on unhooking from the guilt that tells you your worth is tied solely to your output.
Phase 02: Awareness (Slowing Down)
Noticing the physical tension that drives the pressure to stay busy at all costs. You learn to observe your thoughts without being consumed by them, creating the space to stop reacting out of survival habits.
Phase 03: Engagement (Building Legacy)
Taking purposeful action to build a life consistent with your true self. We clarify your personal mission and use it as a compass, whether you are setting boundaries with family or cultivating a new path for yourself.
