A truly compassionate soul, Leah understands how to reach out and understand, without judgement. She takes the time to get a grasp on what is needed, without rushing in, and trying to 'fix' everything without first feeling out the issues at hand. She is wonderful, and the jagged edges of my life have been smoothed out, and she played a major role in that.
