Healing Trauma

Breaking Cycles, Reclaiming Self, and Finding Freedom

What is Trauma beyond just PTSD?

Trauma does not begin and end with one experience—it is often passed down, carried in the body, and woven into the fabric of our relationships, identities, and sense of self. If you’ve ever felt like you are repeating patterns you don’t fully understand, carrying burdens that are not yours, or struggling with wounds that don’t seem to heal, you are not alone.

Healing trauma—especially generational, complex, and religious trauma—is not about “moving on.” It’s about unraveling what has been inherited, understanding how it shapes you, and reclaiming your right to exist beyond survival.

The wounds of colonization, racism, war, displacement, abuse, and family dysfunction do not disappear with time. They are passed down through behaviors, beliefs, emotional suppression, and even our nervous systems. You may experience generational trauma if you:

  • Feel responsible for carrying your family’s emotional burdens

  • Have learned to prioritize survival over self-expression

  • Struggle with guilt, shame, or obligation that isn’t fully yours

  • Feel disconnected from your culture, ancestry, or a sense of belonging

  • Are unlearning patterns of perfectionism, hyper-independence, or emotional repression

Generational Trauma

Unlike a single traumatic event, complex trauma comes from chronic, repeated experiences of stress, neglect, or harm—especially in childhood. This includes:

  • Growing up in emotionally immature, abusive, or chaotic family systems

  • Experiencing prolonged neglect, abandonment, or emotional suppression

  • Navigating cultural, religious, or systemic oppression

  • Surviving relationships that required you to suppress your needs and emotions

  • Difficulty setting boundaries with those around you due to fear of abandonment or rejection

Complex Trauma

Religious trauma occurs when spirituality, faith, or religious systems have been used to control, suppress, or harm. It often stems from high-control religious environments, purity culture, exvangelical experiences, fear-based theology, or deconstruction journeys.

  • Fear, guilt, or anxiety around beliefs, behaviors, or questioning faith

  • Feeling disconnected from your own intuition, emotions, or body due to rigid doctrine

  • Shame or fear surrounding sexuality, gender identity, or personal desires

  • Struggling with spiritual deconstruction, fear of hell, or religious-based trauma responses

  • Difficulty setting boundaries with religious family members or communities

Religious/Spiritual Trauma

What Healing Looks Like

Trauma work is gentle, relational, and deeply personal. It does not mean reliving painful experiences—it means understanding how those experiences have shaped you and creating space for something new.

Together, we will:

  • Rebuild Safety in the Body – Understanding your nervous system, emotional regulation, and how to reconnect with self-trust

  • Unlearn Survival-Based Patterns – Releasing people-pleasing, perfectionism, and hyper-independence as coping mechanisms

  • Explore Generational & Ancestral Healing – Understanding how family, culture, and systemic oppression have shaped your beliefs

  • Reclaim Identity Beyond Trauma – Discovering who you are outside of survival, pain, or inherited expectations

  • Heal Relational Wounds – Learning how to set boundaries, trust yourself, and create healthy relationships

Healing is not about becoming “better”—it is about reclaiming agency.

Work With Me

Reflect, Integrate, and Redefine

Individual Therapy

A one-on-one space to explore your identity, untangle internalized beliefs, and step into your most aligned self. Individual therapy with me is rooted in the deeply personal process of self-reclamation, where we work to unlearn and create space for authenticity. This is a space where you don’t have to perform or explain yourself—you get to be fully seen.

Parent / Family Therapy

Family therapy isn’t about fixing one person—it’s about creating a home environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Working with me is especially supportive for neurodivergent families, multicultural families, queer families, and those healing from emotionally immature generational patterns.

Intimate Relationships

Love does not have to look ONE way to be real, fulfilling, or meaningful. Traditional relationship models often don’t account for neurodivergence, non-monogamy, kink, or other nontraditional partnerships. Build relationships that work for you, rather than forcing them into predefined structures. I offer a judgment-free space to create intimacy on your own terms.

Integration groups

For those who heal best in the community, integration groups provide a space to process in a supportive environment. These groups are not just about sharing experiences —they are about deep, collective witnessing and transformation. These groups are closed, process-oriented, and rooted in deep conversation, reflection, and ritual.
