I love working with Donna! She let's me vent while guiding me through the tough situations in life. No matter what I throw at her she is right there to help talk me through it and find options to help me get over the hurdles. I not only will continue this journey with her but also want to work with her through couples therapy to help strengthen my husband's and my relationship.
