The pain may not have started with you—but healing can.

With the right tools and support, these patterns can be brought to light—and released. Therapy for Generational Trauma in Orlando, FL allows you to reconnect with yourself, rewrite inherited narratives, and pass on resilience instead of pain.

Why Generational Trauma Therapy Matters

Generational trauma doesn’t just live in stories—it lives in your body, relationships, and behaviors. Even if your family never discussed past trauma, it can silently influence how you cope with stress, attach to others, and see yourself. Generational Trauma Therapy in Orlando, FL gives you the chance to identify and release these inherited emotional burdens so you can live with more intention, clarity, and peace.

Clients often come to therapy unsure why they feel so anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. As Elizabeth gently explores their histories, patterns begin to emerge—grandparents who survived war, parents who lived with unspoken grief, caregivers who modeled emotional suppression. These insights are often life-changing. Through Counseling for Generational Trauma in Orlando, FL, Elizabeth helps clients reconnect with their inner child, redefine their beliefs, and rewire the nervous system for healing and safety.

Elizabeth’s trauma-informed background, combined with her years as a paramedic and training officer, gives her a unique understanding of the nervous system’s role in trauma. Her work is ideal for those seeking:

  • Family trauma therapy focused on emotional safety and pattern breaking
  • Help navigating complex or enmeshed family systems
  • Somatic release for unresolved generational wounds
  • Spiritual exploration around inherited pain and ancestral healing

Through Family Trauma Therapy in Orlando, clients learn to validate their own experiences—even when their families deny them—and build emotional skills that allow for real connection and peace. The goal isn’t to blame the past. It’s to heal from it.
