Approach
Compassionate and Non-Pathological Approach
My approach to trauma therapy is rooted in a non pathological and compassionate perspective.
I believe that a non pathological and compassionate approach is crucial in trauma therapy because it creates a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have experienced trauma. By avoiding pathologizing language and labels, I aim to empower my clients and promote their healing process. I want them to feel validated, understood, and accepted, rather than labeled as "broken" or "damaged."
In my experience and therapeutic approach, I acknowledge that trauma is a normal response to abnormal events or experiences. I view it as a natural reaction to overwhelming circumstances, rather than a pathology. This perspective reduces the stigma associated with trauma and helps clients recognize their own strength and resilience.
By adopting a compassionate approach, I emphasize empathy, understanding, and unconditional positive regard for my clients. This allows me to build a strong therapeutic alliance and create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and emotions. It is through this compassionate connection that true healing can take place.
Given the importance of my non pathological and compassionate approach, I have made the decision not to accept insurance. By not being bound by insurance requirements, I can prioritize the individual needs of my clients and provide trauma-informed care that is tailored to their unique experiences. This allows me to focus on understanding and supporting the individual, rather than fitting them into a predetermined diagnostic category.
While I understand that insurance coverage can be beneficial for individuals seeking therapy, I believe that the benefits of my nonpathological and compassionate approach outweigh the limitations imposed by insurance requirements. I strive to be transparent with my clients about this decision and work with them to explore alternative options for financial support, such as offering several discounted session slots or exploring other resources in the community.
In conclusion, my personal perspective and therapeutic approach prioritize a non pathological and compassionate stance in trauma therapy. I have chosen not to accept insurance in order to preserve the integrity of my approach and provide the best possible care for my clients. By focusing on understanding, support, and empowerment, I aim to create a safe and healing space for individuals who have experienced trauma.
How caring for the body impacts how I care for the mind!
My years of experience in the healthcare field have honed my ability to approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and active listening. I understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive space for clients to share their experiences and emotions without judgment.

By comprehending how trauma affects the nervous system, I am able to provide targeted and effective therapeutic interventions aimed at promoting healing and resilience. I am equipped with the tools to recognize the signs and symptoms that arise from dysregulation within the nervous system, and I can guide my clients towards restoring balance and promoting optimal functioning.
As a registered nurse (RN) and a trauma-informed therapist, my background and experience in Healthcare greatly influences the way I support my patients and clients. The unique combination of these roles allows me to provide comprehensive and holistic care to individuals who have experienced trauma.
I approach therapy with a deep understanding of the impact of trauma on an individual's mental and emotional well-being.
I integrate this knowledge with my nursing background to provide trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.
My nursing experience has taught me the importance of building trust and rapport with my patients, which is equally vital in my role as a therapist. I create a therapeutic alliance based on empathy, respect, and non-judgment, allowing my clients to feel seen, heard, and validated.
This foundation of trust enables them to explore their trauma and work towards healing and growth. By combining my medical knowledge, assessment skills, and trauma-informed therapy techniques, I am able to provide holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of healing.
