why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
I love the “family-centered” and “child-led” approach that Puzzle Pieces and DIRFloortime advocate for. I believe that collaborating with caregivers as partners is the key to success for working with children.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
As a mental health counselor, I help children explore different areas of behavioral health concerns, such as social skills, emotional regulation, improving confidence and more!

I love to explore local bookshops, try new restaurants, and hang out with my family and friends.
