Stephanie is really kind and patient. Even when when I’m struggling with the same things almost every week she is so encouraging. It’s nice to feel like someone believes in you even when you don’t feel able to believe in yourself. She’s really opened my eyes about certain things I didn’t notice about myself and it’s pretty life changing.
