Just make sure to only cut the tips. Don't cut "the quick" which is where the vein runs thru the nail. It it the pinkish color you will see on the nail. Otherwise you should be fine and it will keep your cat from clawing as much, cats are actually trying to shorten their claws when they scrach, not sharpen them.

You have to be very careful when cutting the claws of cats. The reason is that they have tiny blood vessels that run through the nails and when you cut them, it is like cutting your nails too short; it hurts. You should get advise from your veterinarian, they will show you have to do it properly.
But please, never de-claw your kitties. I learned this the hard way, my cat Baccus was attacked by a dog and could not defend himself because he had no claws. I had to put him down because of it, and I still have not forgiven my self.

You must be very careful if you clip a cats claws. It is very easy to cut too far back, and it will hurt them, and it will bleed. Get the cat a scratch post instead.

You should trim her nails! She will be just fine. She may not have as sharp of nails but then again isn't that why you trimmed them?
