Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-informed therapy represents a paradigm shift, focusing on understanding the root causes of distress by asking, “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you?” This approach emphasizes understanding a client’s complete history — both past and present — to provide effective therapeutic care. This can be most helpful in providing a safe space to tell your story without judgement. We as humans desire to be seen and heard and through Trauma informed Care sharing our story can lead to healing through reviewing how we are reacting to the root causes and our belief systems we have constructed around those beliefs.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a new form of therapy that aims to help clients process through difficult emotions or traumatic experiences. I have found this to be helpful for clients who have experienced trauma or struggle to access emotions. Once the event or emotion is identified I use mindfulness, reframing unhealthy thoughts, and cognitive behavior techniques to help the clients access, experience and process through the thoughts and feeling stored in the brainspot. Somatic therapy is helpful during Brainspotting to reduce the physical symptoms of trauma.
