Rebecca Lewis makes me feel heard! I really look forward to our conversations as I feel I am always the 'listener' in my life for others but she brings a welcoming environment that allows me to feel comfortable to be open and honest. I appreciate her unbiased opinion which allows me to see other POVs. I have been through some dark times and she has successfully helped me navigate my life during those times.
