I’m so happy with her she helps me with any questions I need and I don’t feel like I am asking any dumb questions

Dorothy is wonderful! She makes you feel comfortable while you’re talking. I have cried my eyes out and not felt judged. There’s no awkward silence, if I’m not talking she is. She is fully focused on you during the session.
