Where do I even begin.. Donna is amazing! I have only been meeting with her for about a month month, but she has already helped me so much.
I feel like she truly listens to me and somehow always says what I need to hear. She helps me see things from a different perspective and gives me the hope to keep working through my struggles. She has given me the tools and confidence to believe in myself that I can make the necessary changes in my life. She keeps things real and helps me see what I can change, but also helps me see my flawed thinking and that I'm not always the problem.

Joy (Donna) is a very caring person. She and I have some similarities in common which I think makes her a better, more relatable counselor. She relates ideas and concepts in ways that really sick in and hit home. I'm a difficult patient sometimes - I have a problem with consistency - but she stays after me in a loving and not at all pushy way. I appreciate that she cares enough to continue to reach out, even when I've sort of disappeared.
