About
Rebecca Blake
Hello and welcome! I’m Rebecca and I live in Maryland. I’m a mom, a partner, a sister, a daughter, a friend, and a neighbor. For almost 20 years I have been a social worker, working with families from all walks of life. I can honestly say I love what I do, and I hear from many of my clients that my passion is evident in my work.
Beyond my work, I love being outside (walking, hiking, or just sitting in the sun with a good book). I enjoy being active – give me a good spin class or yoga class and I’m happy! I also love reading a mix of historical fiction, romance, and personal and professional development books, and I’m happy to share my favorites!
