Dr. Katrina Daniels (anything respectful) is passionate about guiding people to feel more
connected, accepting, and understanding of themselves and others while navigating the
challenges of life. They emphasize a holistic view toward health and wellbeing, incorporating all aspects of the human experience. They believe in understanding our sense of self and the
multifaceted nature of life is fundamental for navigating the often difficult and overwhelming
facets of humanity. They provide a non-judgmental, empathic, safe space for clients that supports acceptance, understanding, personal growth, exploration, and curiosity.
