Lawanza has been a ray of sunshine in my life and I’m so grateful that I have her as my therapist. She has helped me through a really rough patch in my life and she never makes me feel judged and is very understanding. I know I can send her a message if I’m ever feeling down or anxious and that her message will make me feel better right away :)
