Suzanne is so nice. I feel so comfortable talking to her in our sessions. She has given me very helpful advice and suggestions. Her availability works out great with my schedule. What I like is that I message her anytime that something is bothering me or need to get something off my chest that I don’t feel talking to my family about.
