Is This You??

Is the weight of trauma or intergenerational trauma affecting your well-being or relationships? You may be carrying more than you realize. Patterns of inherited trauma can quietly shape your emotions, behaviors, and relationships – often without you knowing the cause. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward healing and transformation.

 
Signs You May Be Carrying Intergenerational Trauma:
  • Persistent feelings of anxiety, guilt, or shame that seem unrelated to personal experiences

  • Difficulty trusting others or forming close, secure relationships

  • Cycles of self-sabotage, perfectionism, or feelings of unworthiness

  • Emotional numbness or detachment from others and your surroundings

  • Strong reactions to seemingly minor events or conflicts

  • Unexplained fears or overprotectiveness, especially regarding family or children

  • Repeating patterns of family conflict or dysfunction

  • Feeling responsible for the happiness or well-being of others at your own expense

  • A sense of “carrying” your family’s burdens, secrets, or expectations

 
Common Triggers:
  • Family gatherings or interactions that resurface old dynamics

  • Life transitions (parenthood, career changes, aging) that echo past struggles

  • Relationship conflicts that mimic parental or family patterns

  • Loss, grief, or trauma that revives unresolved generational pain

  • High-pressure situations that trigger fears of failure or rejection

  • Conversations about identity, belonging, or family history

 

It Doesn’t Have to Continue This Way.

Through Global Personal Realignment Theory, I teach and guide individuals and families to break these cycles, fostering resilience and healing at the core. Together, we address the patterns that no longer serve you, allowing you to rewrite your narrative and cultivate positive transformation across generations.

You have the power to heal and create a different path for yourself and your loved ones.
If these signs resonate with you, don't wait. Inquire today or book a consultation to take the first step toward lasting change and reclaim the peace and joy you deserve.

It's never too late to rewrite your story.

THERE IS HELP

The secret to taking control of how we deal with these problems is to heal the root or core issues that are underlying just below the surface. This isn't about learning skills or techniques - this is about HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

​

If any of this resonates with you, then it's time to take action. Don't let another day slip by in a haze of uncertainty and frustration. Reach out today, and let's chart a course to a brighter, more fulfilling future together. Your dreams are waiting – let's make them a reality.

ABOUT
About

A story...everyone has at least one. My story is one that is filled with ups, downs, surprises, joy and laughter, sadness, pain, and despair....resulting in underlying psychological  trauma. Whether it is resolved trauma or not is another facet that I explore. Then again, whose life isn't filled with these elements?

​

In my early years, I experienced an abundance of joy and happiness. However, as I entered my teenage and young adult phase, life took a turbulent turn with traumatic events that were beyond my control. These experiences led me to make regrettable decisions, affecting my relationships, career choices, friendships, and overall mental health. Nevertheless, this trying period ignited a strong determination within me to transform my mindset and life trajectory. I embarked on a profound journey of self-reflection and personal growth, nurturing resilience that ultimately became a potent force, propelling me towards the path I am on today.

 

​

Driven by my own past encounters and a deep longing to support others facing comparable challenges like toxic relationships, low self-esteem, procrastination, and negative self-talk, I discovered myself constantly pondering life's meaning, human behavior, and the quest for purpose. This innate curiosity set me on an educational voyage characterized by a holistic perspective, ultimately guiding me to my current path. Now, I am dedicated to assisting others in navigating their obstacles and unlocking their true potential.

​

Life, in its infinite complexity, propels me to relentlessly question its workings. The incessant whys linger - Why did this transpire? What made someone believe this action was acceptable? Why are we embroiled in this predicament? The list is endless. Gradually, my queries evolved to seek solutions - How can we address and mend these issues? My authored works often explore the myriad repercussions of trauma, providing a glimpse into the substance of my research!

MY STORY

MY RESEARCH

Resilience, the all-encompassing force that devours trauma and spits it out, is at the core of my research. I delve into the process of overcoming, exploring coping mechanisms, and triumphing over traumas. I'm intrigued by how individuals emerge from these experiences with valuable, self-learned or otherwise, tactics and strategies that prove to be effective and transformative.

​

Witnessing someone navigate this journey successfully, emerging on the other side with newfound strength and wisdom, fills me with hope. I believe that understanding and harnessing resilience can revolutionize how our generation deals with psychological trauma, turning it into a catalyst for positive growth.

​

And so, my own story progressively pushed forward to its culmination of achieving my PhD in Psychology. I specialize in the realm of psychological neglect/abuse and the subsequent trauma that accompanies it. I have lived through and conquered these adversities. I am dedicated to applying my knowledge to help others who may not have been as fortunate in overcoming their struggles.

​

Being transparent and sharing my experiences and expertise is my passion. I am driven by a profound desire to assist others in their healing journey and empowering them to move forward in life. My goal is to make a meaningful impact by fostering resilience, transforming the narrative of psychological trauma into one of empowerment and growth for those who have endured its challenges.
