Stephanie is amazing. We clicked super fast and she has helped me realize a lot of things I didn’t myself. She’s a great listener and provides amazing insight and advice. She honestly feels like a second mother! I can tell her everything truthfully with no judgement and she makes me feel extremely comfortable. Thank you Stephanie!
