Untangling Family Patterns
You’ve built an independent, successful life — but your family story still lingers.
Maybe you grew up in a household where emotions weren’t talked about, where achievement was the way to earn love, or where chaos kept you on high alert. Even now, years later, those early dynamics can show up in subtle but powerful ways — in your relationships, your self-talk, your boundaries, and even the way you work.
For high-achieving, self-aware professionals, the drive to succeed often started as a way to cope. It might have been how you stayed safe, got noticed, or avoided conflict. But those same patterns can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or stuck in roles that no longer serve you.
It’s not about blaming your family — it’s about understanding the impact.
When you can see how those old dynamics shaped you, you can decide what you want to carry forward and what it’s time to release.
Therapy can help you:
-
Recognize and shift patterns that began in childhood
-
Build boundaries without guilt
-
Develop self-worth that isn’t tied to performance
-
Navigate complicated family relationships with more ease
How we’ll work together
We’ll create a safe space to explore your story and the roles you’ve played — and uncover the ones you want to keep.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Work with the parts of you shaped by early family dynamics, helping them find new ways of being.
-
EMDR – Process formative memories so they no longer dictate how you feel or react today.
-

You don’t have to keep repeating old cycles. Together, we’ll help you step into a life that reflects who you are now — not just who you had to be back then.
