Her Inspiration:
My fascination with mood disorders began in high school after taking a psychology class. This early interest inspired me to study psychology at Georgetown University and pursue a career in clinical social work. Working with teenagers has strengthened my commitment to this field, and I find continual inspiration from the dedicated clinicians at Anxiety Institute who motivate me in my professional journey.
