Their Inspiration In high school I had a passion for acting but faced stage fright. With time, and practice performing, I grasped that I could be anxious AND do what was important to me. Working with mentors and therapists, I have come to view anxiety as something that can be functional when approached from the right angle. My goal is to help clients forge a less fearful, and more productive, relationship with anxiety.

“This isn’t a place where you come to fix your child. It’s a place where you come to help your child understand what drives her, what can help her and how she can help herself. It’s such a different angle to come at. It’s not there’s something wrong with you we’re going to fix you. No there’s something great about you, and you have to understand it and you have to know how to live with it and how to get through your difficulties. But it will make you better and stronger.”
