Cece completed her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Exercise & Sport Science at Smith College and earned her Master of Social Work from the University of New Hampshire. Before graduate school, she supported children and families through community mental health work in their homes and neighborhoods. Following graduate school, Cece worked in an outpatient private practice, providing therapy to individuals of all ages with a focus on eating disorders and OCD.
In addition to her clinical training, Cece has a strong background in coaching. Growing up as a Vermont-based gymnast, she spent summers coaching gymnastics before transitioning to springboard diving in college. She later coached diving for eight seasons at UNH, with many top finishes. Cece believes her coaching experience continues to inform her clinical work, as therapy—like sports—often involves showing up with courage and a willingness to “do it scared.”
Cece is excited to return to the Upper Valley after several years in Portsmouth, NH. Outside of work, she enjoys skiing, mountain biking, reading, and spending time in nature.
