Generational Trauma Therapist in Venice

The Pain Didn’t Start With You. But It Can End With You.

In our therapy sessions, we will explore:

    •    Identifying unconscious patterns passed down through your family

    •    Understanding emotional legacies such as silence, shame, or rigidity

    •    Healing from childhood wounds and unmet needs

    •    Processing loyalty conflicts and guilt for “breaking away”

    •    Exploring attachment styles and relationship dynamics

    •    Setting boundaries while honoring what’s worth keeping

    •    Reconnecting with your values, voice, and inner strength

Generational trauma is the emotional inheritance no one asked for. It’s the unspoken grief, abuse, neglect, fear, or dysfunction passed down from parent to child—sometimes for generations. Whether it’s addiction, emotional shutdown, codependency, or perfectionism, these patterns are often invisible until you’re the one who decides: It stops here.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor who specializes in intergenerational healing, I help individuals explore the family dynamics and inherited wounds that shaped their beliefs, behaviors, and relationships. This isn’t about blaming your parents—it’s about understanding your story so you can write a new chapter.

Breaking the cycle doesn’t mean breaking the family—it means choosing healing over repetition.  Let’s help you become the generation that heals, reclaims, and rises—with courage and intention.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
