It's kind of early in the process but I can feel Gail training me, like any teacher would, to be educated on things I wasn't even aware of. With this knowledge I finally feel more jn control and that's something I haven't had in a while

Gail has a calm demeanor and a very non judgmental attitude towards any issue you bring to her. She has the ability to empathise and constructively lead you to an understanding of self and the stimuli. She has been very responsive and comforting in extremely emotional situations yet leading you to practical solutions and approaches on how to manage that next time. I would recommend her anytime!
