"Dr. Rothenberg speaks of empowerment, no matter the outcome, and takes docere (doctor in Latin meaning teacher) to the next level. And what a great teacher she is-able to articulate a difficult subject with a soothing voice, offering light on what at times is an obscure and darkened path. Thank you for walking with us on this journey and offering a solid set of tools to guide the way."
