How My Approach Is Different
I See “Symptoms” as Survival Strategies
Traditional mental-health care often focuses on diagnosing and managing symptoms — anxiety, depression, dissociation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, numbing.
But what if these aren’t symptoms of something wrong… what if they’re evidence of something right? A normal response to an abnormal circumstance?
As trauma expert Dr. Janina Fisher teaches, what we call “symptoms” are actually survival adaptations — protective strategies your mind and body developed to keep you safe when you didn’t feel safe.
Your nervous system learned how to survive. My work helps it learn how to thrive.
A Trauma-Informed Lens
As a Certified Non-Clinical Trauma Care Practitioner, my focus isn’t on diagnosis or disorder — it’s on understanding. I help you make sense of your inner world through:
Parts Work (IFS-inspired): Meeting and understanding the protective parts within you.
Polyvagal Theory: Learning how your nervous system drives your emotions, behaviors, and sense of safety.
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT): Accessing the subconscious mind to shift deep-rooted beliefs.
Trauma Education & Coaching: Turning insight into healing through practical tools and compassionate awareness.
My approach blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassion — helping you reconnect with the Self that has always been beneath the survival strategies.
