quoteI am really grateful for the sensitivity and care you bring and for your deep and incisive support. I so appreciate your taking the time to help [K.] see the big picture -- the great, powerful multifaceted kid she is -- and is becoming -- and to be mindful of the many good college choices that may nurture her.  For my daughter to be seen by an ally so deeply and with such compassion and regard is a great gift. Thank you, Stephanie.quote
