She’s amazing and does a great job!
I do not believe Deborah could have done anything better. Even though I am really struggling and emotional, she was kind, gentle, and reassuring and I look forward to speaking with her further.
She is awesome! Wish I could talk to her even longer
She does wonderful, couldn't ask for anything different for her to do. She's great. Thank you.
Honestly I would say continue to be herself. She has a way of speaking with you that makes you feel relaxed. With my issues feeling relaxed is key for me. I would give 10 stars if that were an option
