Since 2018, I’ve had the privilege of serving resilient and wonderful people carrying the invisible weight of past trauma. My transition into the mental health field began after volunteering in Boston with an outreach group providing hot meals and clean socks to people living outside. Hearing their stories sparked my curiosity about how people assemble a version of recovery after impairing life experiences, which led me to pursue a Master’s degree with an emphasis on trauma recovery. I later worked at a domestic violence crisis center where leadership prioritized training interns, giving me direct experience supporting survivors of crimes, relationship ruptures, and everything in between.

Learning about EMDR ignited a strong desire to understand an approach that could facilitate the kind of healing I was searching for. During my time at the crisis center, I was able to witness the shift and clarity that EMDR can create. Experiencing its impact firsthand shaped the direction of my work, and I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to offer EMDR to people seeking deep, meaningful healing.

Outside of work and family life, I enjoy playing the guitar, listening to comedy podcasts, and creative writing.
