While I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, I find working with college students especially rewarding. Outside of work, you&#8217;ll find me enjoying a good comedy show, working on my latest art project, or spending time with my cat Sassafras. I&#8217;m also a big fan of travel, and try to do two big trips a year (if I&#8217;m lucky). I believe in the power of empowerment, laughter, creativity and connection as keys to healing, and I try to bring that into my work every day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Hobbies<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>I was a studio art major in college and still love to paint, I have a cat named Sassafras, I love to travel and I watch a lot of queer comedy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Education &amp; Training<\/strong><br \/>\nMSW, Boston University<br \/>\nLICSW<br \/>\nTrauma Specialist<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Interests<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>Trauma-informed care, sexual health, LGBTQIA mental health, Liberation Health Model, anti-oppression activism, Empowerment Model, Restorative Justice.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16413,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/664"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":665,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/664\/revisions\/665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
