“If I could use one word to describe Tanya, it would be indispensable. I was astonished at the type of support she was able to provide. It felt uniquely tailored to my needs. After leaving an abusive marriage, I was paralyzed from emotional exhaustion, fear, and trauma. I was taxed with the overwhelming prospect of preparing myself, and legal documents for divorce. I felt immobilized with fear. Tanya was gentle and kind, helping me find resources and being a resource herself. She came up with solutions I would have never thought of, as I faced the distress of over a decade of abuse. She has first-hand knowledge and experience, and it shows. Her patience is incredible. She never made me feel that I was going too slow, or taking up too much time. She provided me with such incredible emotional support, and made me feel like I could advocate and stand up for myself. She helped me realize that I was not alone, and that people wanted and could help. Thank you, Tanya. I would not be where I am today without you.”

“I texted my ex how proud I was that I got away from him because I know I loved him. But, I told him what he had towards me wasn’t love. . . and to be honest, aside from a few mutual friends, I felt comfort from Tanya and before I met her, I’d text our mutual friends and between all of them, I started to gain strength to realize, “no, something’s wrong with all of this”, you know? But definitely started taking bigger steps to walk away, with Tanya’s support and her listening ear. Since I’ve been back home, I’ve been off drugs and am clean and I thank Tanya!! Because she definitely helped me feel supported enough to take those big steps.”
