Her Inspiration:
I know first-hand the insidious nature of anxiety, particularly as it impacts adolescents and young adults who are transitioning to adulthood. I am inspired every day by my clients who do the hard work of understanding, confronting, and learning to manage their symptoms in order to live a full and engaged life.
