Parenting & Intergenerational Trauma

Parenting is really hard. It can be even harder if you had a difficult childhood. You may fear you can’t be good a parent. You may have to learn how to give your kids the things you didn’t get as a kid. And it can take an enormous amount of energy to learn new ways of relating to your children, your partner, and yourself.

But when you understand the connections between your childhood and your reactions to your kids, you can work to heal and end the cycle of intergenerational trauma. Therapy can help you understand yourself and be the parent you want to be.

We can start by discussing your concerns and goals in a free 50-minute consultation so you can decide if you would like to try working together.
