About Emergence Health & Wellness for Men

Born and raised where the winters are brutal and the community is strong, I always felt comfortable with the people around me and their willingness to help and support myself & others through the years. Because of this, I have always tried to pay it forward, whether it be by lending a hand when needed or talking through tough times by a campfire.

I used to think that I wanted to be a teacher all through high school but partway through college, my interests turned towards a field where I could help people in a different way. Sparked by a few psychology courses and some amazing teachers, I was introduced to the field of Social Work. I was further inspired by my sister, who became a social worker herself, along with my internship supervisors during college. These influences empowered me to pursue a Master’s degree and enroll at the Boston University School of Social Work where I could continue my passion for helping others.

I have a personal interest in mental health services for men because of the unique challenges men face in the world of mental health and the stigma that has surrounded men accessing therapy services.

Some of my personal interests include what I can create and build next with my own hands, woodworking, making sure my truck doesn’t stall out on the road, playing guitar, Diet Pepsi, and listening to Steely Dan.
