Since returning to academia in pursuit of her MA and LMHC, Amy has especially loved her studies of human development and her practicum work at the Wayside Youth and Family Support Network in Framingham. Amy is excited to bring her knowledge of adolescent and young adult development as well as her varied career and life experiences to Clark’s CPG. Amy’s favorite quote from all of her master’s coursework comes from developmental psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner, who said that “every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about” them. In her spare time, she enjoys knitting, cooking, and kayaking with her family.
