Her Inspiration:
As an adolescent and young adult, I struggled with anxiety and depression. I felt helpless and unsure of how I would get through those trying times. Dylan Thomas’s poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night,” had a powerful impact on me and gave me the inspiration to believe that there will always be a way to get through the darkness. I’m proud to be a part of Anxiety Institute.
