I value her opinion and am appreciative of her perspective on matters that are personal to me.

Michelle is lovely - caring and thoughtful. She is friendly and was able to walk me through my own experiences, including checking in whether I'm in the right spot and if I should change anything in our treatment. Thank you for everything!

Michelle is amazing! She helps me better understand things that I haven’t really thought of before also have a better understanding of what’s going on.
