NewwGirl ,

Thank You Mrs. Shakeeta!!

I am so thankful for Mrs.Shakeeta she offers a wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom. That is empowered by the Holy Spirit and communicated with compassion and empathy. It’s so refreshing to have the opportunity to glean knowledge from someone who has a great deal of experience as a licensed therapist, as well as a strong biblical foundation.
