Christina is great, she really listens and I feel like we click well. She makes me feel comfortable about opening up and exploring my feelings. I don't open up easily, and I feel like I can be honest with her. She also understands how hard it can be for an older man to deal with his feelings, which definitely helps. She asks thought provoking questions, and offers excellent perspectives. She's making a difficult process for me a more pleasant and rewarding experience.
