Donna is great to work with. She is understanding and provides a different perspective that is very much appreciated. I struggle with things and she is able to reframe what I am experiencing and offer different thoughts and ideas that help me to better understand what I’m going through as well as others perspectives. Her knowledge and background are helpful for me and what I’m going through. She has been awesome to work with.
