About Emergence Health & Wellness for Men

Growing up in a small cow town, I always knew I wanted something bigger for myself. From a young age, I was driven to grow, explore, and create a meaningful life. I began working at just nine years old, babysitting, and over the years, I often held two or three jobs at a time—all in pursuit of figuring out who I was and how I could make a difference in the world.

I initially enrolled in community college to complete prerequisites for nursing, knowing I wanted to help people. While working in the medical field, I quickly realized that my heart was drawn to deeper, one-on-one connections. That realization guided me toward the field of social work—where I discovered my true passion for emotional healing and human connection.

I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from Bridgewater State University. While I may have felt like the oldest person in some of my classes, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be. Social work felt like home.

Since graduating, I’ve had the opportunity to work across various clinical settings: providing in-home therapy, supporting adolescents on inpatient psychiatric units, and helping families through intense crisis moments. These experiences deepened my understanding of how healing looks different for everyone—and also led me to seek a space where I could offer more consistent, long-term therapeutic support.

Today, my practice is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a commitment to meeting clients where they are. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

When I’m not working, I love exploring new places, attending local farmers markets, and dancing in my kitchen with music playing in the background. These little moments of joy and spontaneity keep me grounded and connected to myself. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, recharging with a scenic drive, or cozying up with a good show—especially true crime documentaries. Whether it’s trying a new smoothie spot or simply enjoying a slow morning, I believe in finding joy in the simple things.
