“With a foundational career in the classroom, I transitioned from teaching to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in order to provide the intensive, one-on-one support that students often need but can rarely receive in a large group setting. I realized my true passion lay in understanding the ‘why’ behind student behavior. Now, as a BCBA, I help families navigate complex behavioral challenges with empathy and a compassionate, family-centered approach, focusing on empowering parents with evidence-based tools to foster their child’s independence and long-term success. I believe that when we support the whole family, we unlock a child’s full potential.”
