She is so compassionate, gentle, understanding but also direct with a great sense of tact. I was a mess. Ugly crying, shaking, falling apart…she took all of that and made me feel…human. She is incredibly empathetic and genuinely cares to know and understand me. Not just my issues. She almost feels like a friend I’ve had since grade school or something.
