Finding a therapist who truly understands you can be challenging, especially when you’ve often felt unseen or misunderstood. My own journey of receiving a late Autism diagnosis ignited a deep passion for advocating for those who have been overlooked—particularly neurodivergent individuals, BIPOC communities, and survivors of trauma. I know firsthand how hard it can be to navigate a world that wasn’t built with you in mind, and my mission is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

We all have patterns of thoughts, behaviors and emotions that keep us trapped. Some of us may be stuck in a downward spiral of depression, anxiety and mood disturbance. Others create walls to keep themselves safe but ultimately shut out those they care about or are left feeling distant from themselves. Many of us find ourselves trapped on a hamster wheel, challenged to slow down or get off. Still others find themselves recreating familiar, unfulfilling dynamics with loved ones or colleagues. We'll work together to understand these dynamics, set goals for how you'd like to change and help you create a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapists
Who is ABA therapy for?
ABA therapy is most widely applied to teach basic behavioral, communication, and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. It may also be used to help people undergoing rehabilitation following brain injury. It uses reward-based learning techniques to impart essential life skills. ABA is also used in the treatment of some other conditions. One is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , to help children overcome difficulties with concentration and controlling impulsive behaviors. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, it is sometimes used to help them overcome compulsive behavior. ABA therapy is also sometimes used in cases of PTSD, to help people turn to positive behaviours when they have experiences that trigger distressing memories.

Why do people need ABA?
Children with autism and other developmental disorders need ABA therapy as a way to learn how to communicate and engage with others, improve their general ability to function and lead fulfilling lives, and diminish dangerous behaviors. The techniques used in ABA therapy are based on established principles of learning, and positive reinforcement—supplying earned rewards—is an important strategy for motivating positive behaviour change.

What happens in ABA therapy?
The first thing that happens in ABA therapy is an evaluation of the child in service of developing a treatment plan. The therapist meets with the child’s parent(s) in order to learn about the family and the child, assesses the child’s behavior and ability level, and then creates a plan tailored to the specific needs of that person. Once the treatment goals are established, the skills to be learned are broken down into small, component steps. Treatment sessions focus on learning and practicing each step, and furnishing meaningful rewards as steps are learned, behaviors are spontaneously implemented, and goals are accomplished. ABA therapists also train caregivers and families so that behavioral progress occurs beyond the clinical setting.

What problems does ABA therapy treat?
One of the primary goals of ABA therapy is to decrease the outbursts and other nonproductive behaviors of children with autism. At the same time, ABA aims to remedy language deficits and help such children learn how to communicate successfully. ABA therapy helps children learn age-appropriate social skills and gain skills, such as attention and focus, that are necessary for school.
