Not much! She’s awesome! I’m just not thriving and barely surviving, but I don’t quit and I think she sees that and is going to help me get back on track!
Super friendly! I have a good feeling about working with her.
Great listener. Great personality. I look to our sessions.
I think she's doing an excellent job! She listens and gives sound advice. I would like to continue working with her on working through the things I'm having a difficult time working through on my own.
She was very personable and friendly, and really made me feel comfortable speaking with her. I can’t think of anything to improve.
I don’t know. I like her and don’t mind talking to her. Not sure I’m getting anything from sessions.
