Welcome to our center in Braintree, MA

Ari has more than 15 years of experience in the human services field and is passionate about helping children and families access meaningful, individualized support and care. Ari received her Bachelors in Psychology, with a specialization in Developmental Disabilities and Human Services from UMass Amherst, and her Masters degree in Behavior Analysis from Simmons College. She has worked with individuals from ages 2-60 over the last decade and a half across a variety of settings, including homes, daycares, schools, and clinics.  What drew Ari to ANNA was the shared values for compassionate care, strong family partnerships, and practical systems that help organizations deliver high-quality services while maintaining a supportive culture for all. Outside of work, Ari enjoys reading, cooking, and finding new spots (ideally in Vermont) to hike with her dog and husband!
