After obtaining my Board Certification in Behavior Analysis in 2008, I used my energy and knowledge to develop ways in which to bring the value and quality of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to those populations that were underserved or often not recognized as people who could truly benefit from ABA. I pursued my professional counseling license to combine the worlds of counseling and ABA for the most comprehensive approach possible. Over the years I have learned that my niche lies with children who struggle with severe behavioral challenges, children/teens on the Autism Spectrum, and children and adults who have endured trauma.

My bias is that being able to speak freely and without fear of judgement or repercussion is essential to mental and emotional well-being. I make space for the unsightly transmission of experience, the ungainly communication, the awkwardness and discomfort of authentic relationship. I help people find the voice they didn't know was there, and that may have been communicating through confusing and even harmful behaviors. I will hold a container for you to explore that voice and perhaps discover the basic goodness and humor underneath all the noise and annoying chatter.

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.
