Offering a safe and inclusive space is my first priority, especially in a world where it can be challenging to find. 

My approach to therapy is based on individual needs and personal goals. My primary area of focus is anxiety, specific to panic and the physical symptoms that can cause one to feel detached and not in control. I also provide support related to sexuality and gender identity.
