Families, educators, and IEP teams come to me when behavior feels overwhelming, support is inconsistent, or nothing seems to be working. I specialize in helping children with autism and developmental differences by identifying the “why” behind behavior and creating clear, practical strategies. I also support BCBAs, students, and trainees in building clinical confidence and navigating complex cases. My approach is compassionate, neuroaffirming, and focused on meaningful, real-world progress—not just short-term compliance.
As a BCBA with 15+ years of experience, I provide consultation, parent coaching, and school collaboration to address behavior challenges and skill development. I also offer mentorship and case consultation for BCBAs and trainees. My work is evidence-based, individualized, and designed for real-life application.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or behavior analyst feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Navigating behavior—at home, in school, or in practice—can feel complex and exhausting. I help you make sense of what’s happening and move forward with clarity, confidence, and practical next steps.
