Sometimes patterns that kept us safe in our past no longer serve us in the present. Maybe you had to avoid vulnerability at all costs to get through and survive a tough situation, but now you might have friends, family, or partners voicing concerns that they don’t really know you. Maybe you felt that you had to be the caretaker and hold everything together, but now you find yourself overworked, overwhelmed, and struggling to find the motivation for day-to-day challenges. Maybe seemingly small situations leave you feeling like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes these patterns are the echoes of trauma.

While we can’t erase the past, we can learn to understand it, explore it, and begin to make the appropriate changes to feel more empowered about our situations so that we can move forward. I have nearly a decade working in the behavioral health field and have significant experience working with persons who have experienced intense trauma.

I want to help you understand how the patterns were created, explore the impact that they’re having on you today, and empower you to make the changes so that you’re not stuck in these patterns. When we understand our patterns, we are taking an active step to break “la cadenita,” or really the chains of intergenerational trauma.
