About Me

Hi I am Irene Nunez, LCSW. My approach to healing is to encourage you to unlearn & challenge deep rooted childhood patterns & maladaptive beliefs that you are undeserving of love and nurturing relationships. I would be honored to provide you with a safe place to tell your story and challenge these beliefs. I have so much admiration and gratitude for you and your willingness to begin your healing. My focus is to help women who are cycle breakers to begin to balance emotions, reprocess traumatic events, cope with anxiety, break patterns of generational trauma, connect with their inner child and become aware of their inner warrior strengths.

My focus is to help women who are cycle breakers to begin to balance emotions, reprocess traumatic events, cope with anxiety, break patterns of generational trauma, connect with their inner child and become aware of their inner warrior strengths. One of my specialties is working with moms in various stages of motherhood: perinatal, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. My focus is to help the mommas I work with identify how past trauma & attachment wounds are resurfacing during all stages of motherhood. I help moms learn how to reparent themselves, process birth, pregnancy, postpartum trauma & anxiety. I help women learn how to reparent themselves, connect with their inner child as they are navigating life transitions by empowering them to recognize they are cycle breakers in their families and for future generations to come.
