I think she is doing great love talking with her.
Continue the rapport that we have. I think we have built the foundation, and I am curious to see where it goes.
Shelley is absolutely amazing! I finally found someone who listened to me and understood my story in order to help me.
I have no suggestions on how she can better support me. She does a wonderful job!
