My Role

As a passionate BCBA with a background in Psychology and Life Coaching, I am dedicated to helping clients discover the most effective solutions for their unique situations. My approach in Applied Behavior Analysis focuses on understanding the function of behaviors, steering away from simplistic labels and toward meaningful change. Drawing from personal experience as a parent to a child on the Autism Spectrum, and professional experience across various settings, I value caregiver input in tailoring programs that truly meet the needs of those we serve.

The Best Part of My Job

The best part of my job as a BCBA is the opportunity to share the hope and transformative power that ABA therapy offers. 

By understanding the “why” behind behaviors and recognizing these behaviors as expressions of needs, we can significantly enhance the lives of those we serve. This understanding not only improves the lives of our clients but also alleviates the overwhelming burden faced by caregivers, who often feel unprepared for their challenging journey. 

Information truly is a powerful tool. I remember, as a new RBT, witnessing the profound impact of our work when a father of a non-verbal child learned to communicate with his son through picture cards. 

The joy and relief in his tears as he began to understand his child’s needs for the first time encapsulated the profound impact of what we do. It’s moments like these that underscore the real, life-changing benefits of ABA, making every day rewarding.

"My personal work philosophy centers on the uniqueness of each child. I believe that every intervention must be tailored to the individual, harnessing their specific talents and skills to foster learning, growth, and a fulfilling life. I deeply value teamwork and the insights of caregivers and professionals involved in a child's care, as collaboration and comprehensive understanding heighten our chances of success."
