She is so sweet! She listens and remembers things I tell her even the small things and is always quick to give good advice back. Her support between sessions has also been extremely appreciated! Things like praying for me throughout the week, checking in from time to time, sending sermons related to things I’m going through or struggling with. She has just been a God send!

Michelle is great! She does a great job listening and recommending resources. She has a very strong faith and offers prayer and biblical wisdom in sessions, which I find very helpful.
