After graduating with my Masters in 2019, I did some clinical work in a psychiatric hospital with adults and adolescents. I decided to broaden my population experience by joining Kaleidoscope and quickly fell in love with child therapy as well! I spend most of my time away from work chasing my rambunctious 2-year-old around the house.
