Trauma informed therapy means that I do all I can to provide a safe, non-triggering space in which to process whatever needs attention. This approach assumes that trauma may be present but not named. From my office space to my language, to the pace of therapy and interventions, making a safe and client-centered environment is my number one priority.
My work is informed by the polyvagal theory and the research of Stephen Porges and Deb Dana. Their work on how to rewire our nervous systems is foundational to most trauma informed treatments. Armed with this knowledge, we know how to rewire your nervous system to be more flexible, regulated, and relationally connected.
