Transforming Lives with ABA Therapy

I am a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with more than 25 years of experience supporting children, families, and educators across homes, schools, and communities. My journey began as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I spent 19 years learning from the individuals and families I served. For the past six years as a BCBA, I have focused on bringing evidence-based practice together with compassion-driven care.

Applied Behavior Analysis has given me the tools to understand the why behind behavior, while Acceptance and Commitment Training has deepened my understanding of the how, how to lead with empathy, flexibility, and kindness. Together, these approaches remind me that ABA is not just about teaching new skills, but about helping people discover their strengths, embrace growth, and live meaningful lives.

My professional interests extend beyond direct clinical work to include parent coaching, school-based consultation, and organizational systems support, because sustainable change happens when families, schools, and teams grow together.

Originally from Los Angeles, I moved to Salt Lake City in 2022 and have come to love both the community and the mountains. Learning to ski has been a joyful reminder that growth is lifelong, and that progress often begins one small step, or one careful turn, at a time.

Over the years, I have seen transformation measured not just in goals achieved, but in smiles, confidence, and connection. Positive reinforcement, to me, is more than a principle of behavior, it is love in action.

As B.F. Skinner observed, “A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.”

And in the spirit of Carol Dweck, “Becoming is better than being.”
