why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
I love working at Puzzle Pieces because it provides a warm, collaborative environment to support kids and their families. It is such a gift to be able to work so closely with families as I value their resilience, resourcefulness, and partnership in this journey.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working individually with children and providing families with support and consultation. Additionally, I have specialization in Art Therapy which I find to be supportive in processing emotions, exploring individual creativity, and further developing an understanding of the self. I am passionate about supporting children in uncovering aspects of their identity, finding their voice, and building their confidence through skill building.
what do you like doing outside of work
Outside of work I love to spend time with my dog, hike, travel to near and far places, read fantasy novels, try new foods, make art, and listen to live music!
