Sarah Benitez-Zandi

I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.
