why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
I love getting to support kids and families through creativity, connection, and play. I’m especially drawn to work that’s helps kids feel more confident in who they are and how they relate to the world around them. It’s a privilege to do work that’s both playful and purposeful.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
As a mental health clinician at Puzzle Pieces, I work with children and families through individual and group support, with a focus on helping kids build confidence, navigate challenges, and feel understood. I’m especially interested in how gaming, internet culture, and social media intersect with mental health, and how they impact the ways kids connect, cope, and express themselves.
what do you like doing outside of work
Outside of work, I enjoy playing board games with my friends, spending time with my family, hanging out with my cat, and watching basketball (go Celtics!).
