“I have been dealing with this alone for a long time and honestly did not think anyone would really get it. She did. She understands gambling, she understands the emotions that come with it, and she never once made me feel like I was too much to deal with.”

“I was not in a good place when I came to her. I am still working through it but something has shifted and a lot of that is because of how she approaches things. She is knowledgeable but more than that she actually cares.”
