Known for applying a holistic and individualized approach to behavior analysis and intervention. With a deep understanding of the impact of behavioral challenges on individuals and their families, strives to create comprehensive and personalized behavior intervention programs that address the unique needs and goals of each client.

Drawing on extensive experience in behavior analysis, assessment, and treatment, I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive strategies that promote positive behavior change and enhance the quality of life for individuals across diverse settings. Through effective communication and active listening, I actively involve family members in the decision-making process, encouraging their active participation and empowering them to become partners in their loved one's progress.

By integrating evidence-based practices with a full family approach, I am able to address the unique challenges and dynamics within each family unit. This comprehensive perspective not only facilitates more successful outcomes but also creates a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters growth and resilience.

As a results-oriented professional, I thrive in challenging environments and consistently deliver impactful solutions. With a strong commitment to ethical practices, I advocate for the rights and well-being of individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral disorders, ensuring that their unique needs are met with compassion, respect, and individuality.
