"Rachael was absolutely amazing. She understood the situation I was in and gave me the right advice at the right time. I found her to be very empathetic, and she also provided very practical tools to help me manage my anxiety and stress. She helped me visually put things into perspective, which worked extremely well for me because I’m a very visual learner. Overall, she’s probably one of the best people I’ve worked with."
