She's very kind and patient. Her voice is very comforting and she explains coping techniques in a great way. She makes me feel like it's not something that's "wrong with me," it's just my mind and how I approach situations is different than others and there's nothing wrong with that. For someone like me who has struggled with anxiety their whole life, her approach is very comforting and extremely helpful. She makes me feel heard, understood, and comfortable.
