why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
I absolutely love working with children and families. It is an honor to be able to help young children develop their skills and grow. I love taking a family-centered approach at Puzzle Pieces, as it really does take a village to raise a child.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
I am a clinical social worker on the behavioral health team where I mainly work with children and caregivers. My therapeutic values include Liberation Health, compassion, mindfulness, and having a trauma-informed lens. I am deeply passionate about helping children connect to their inner wisdom!
what do you like doing outside of work
When I’m not working, I love to read memoirs, go on long walks in nature, cook delicious food with my husband, and meditate.
