As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I am passionate about helping individuals with Autism, ADHD, and challenging behaviors build meaningful skills that improve daily life. I believe behavior is communication, and my work focuses on understanding the why behind behavior while teaching practical, functional alternatives that promote independence, emotional regulation, and success across settings.
ABA Therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy, is the most recommended treatment for individuals on the autism spectrum and other behavior disorders.
I work with kids and adults to transfer new information and apply skills to all areas of their life, such as in the community, at school, or in the home.
I currently am in my second year of MSW at King University. I am an intern at Kindred Therapy. I currently am offering therapy at a reduced rate. I offer extensive clinical experience and compassionate, skill-based approach to adult therapy.
