why do you love working at Puzzle Pieces and doing the work you do
My favorite part about working at PP is that I get to spend my days playing, listening, and learning with children and families. Children are incredibly resilient and as much as I can help them develop positive coping skills, I am humbled to be able to see life through their perspective, appreciate difference and all abilities, and value our basic necessities.
explain what you do at Puzzle Pieces
I am a behavioral Health clinician at Puzzle Pieces working with children and families. Specifically, I work with children with a focus on anxiety, bereavement, and adjustment.
what do you like doing outside of work
Outside of work I am typically with my daughter, exploring new parks or beaches. I love spending time with family and friends, yoga, art and all things Maine.
