To someone who goes above and beyond and helping and caring about my needs would be an understatement. She is not just attentive but also understanding about all in any situations.

Shelly and I have worked on so many things, I feel a night and day difference with talking through things with her as well as her offering suggestions and ways to handle/cope with situations outside of my control. We discuss intimate things that are confidential that I would not want to focus on with family, but want to be able to talk to a 3rd party about to gain perspective. I appreciate her so much!
