I am a mental health professional (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with 20+ years of experience as a social worker, educator, therapist, and community organizer. My passion is turning life's challenges and roadblocks into opportunities and strengths that drive us forward, creating new and exciting possibilities. My website and blog, UpsideDownFlan.com, reflect this strengths-based approach to life that I work to bring to my clients and staff. I am a graduate of the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work and recently earned an Advanced Certificate of Graduate Studies from Salem State University in Educational Leadership. I am a proud introvert, a lifelong learner, a wanderer, and someone who knows what it’s like to have their life turned upside down! For more, you can follow my Instagram account: @upside_down_flan.
Sometimes introverts have FOMO, when they feel they “should” do something social vs. do what they really want to do, like stay home.
