I would recommend her for young children, teenagers, and adults alike, absolutely. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, personable, consistent, reliable, and she sees that people are human and there is not one set solution for everyone,……we are all unique with unique needs and solutions.” February 13, 2009

Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative
“We have been seeing Fran for almost two years now and she is absolutely wonderful. She cares deeply about all of us in the family – not just her “client.” She goes over the top to help in all family matters and not just the primary client’s issues. She finds ways to help her clients gain a better understanding of themselves and offers many ways (not just one or two) to make a difference in their own lives. She is quick to respond to voice or email messages, regardless of day or time—an incredibly appreciated attribute! She always lends a caring ear or shoulder to any who may need it…….A great lady and we feel fortunate to have been referred to her!”

I would recommend Francyne in virtually any capacity, and any company, client, or supervisee would be fortunate to have her in their court.”
