why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
What I love most about my work at Puzzle Pieces is the chance to help clients make lasting, meaningful progress. Each session offers an opportunity to deepen understanding, build resilience, and support real change. Being part of a team that approaches this work with care, skill, and consistency makes it a place where meaningful clinical work truly thrives.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
At Puzzle Pieces, I get to help kids work through big feelings, build new skills, and discover what makes them shine. Through play, creativity, and connection, I create a space where they feel safe to be themselves and try out new ways of coping, growing, and having fun along the way.
what do you like doing outside of work
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with my family, playing or watching tennis, or soaking up the sun on Cape Cod. I love the Cape’s quieter shoulder seasons just as much as a spontaneous trip somewhere new — and a cozy Netflix night is always a favorite way to unwind.
