She’s the first therapist I’d had who hasn’t dismissed my emetaphobia. Most people look past it and just go to my anxiety and ocd but emetaphobia is my biggest struggle and controls my life so I need someone who will help me find relief and will listen to me. She’s the only one who’s actually listened to me.
