About Me
I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Certified Sleep Consultant. I help children and their families achieve restful nights.
I provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to help children gain independence, language, play, and social skills.
I work with children in their homes, at school, or in community settings depending on the unique needs of each family. I collaborate with teachers, SLPs, pediatricians, and other service providers to foster integrated treatment.
sleep consultation
My approach
I collaborate with families to create a plan. Together, we gently shape sleep routines and adjust the child's sleep environment to produce successful results without inducing stress and anxiety. I'm committed to finding an approach that works for each family and fits their parenting philosophy.
the process
- Intake paperwork to assess needs
- 30-minute meeting to determine the best method of sleep therapy
- Customized treatment plan to guide caregivers through each step
- 30-60 minute meeting to review the plan
- 1 week of daily call or email check-ins to assess progress and adjust the plan as needed

Applied Behavior Analysis
My approach
I provide a child-led, play-based approach to behavior change and skill development. I spend time building a relationship with a child and follow their motivation, taking advantage of natural teaching opportunities and creating new opportunities within the context of play.
I work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure their family's needs are the first priority.
I coach parents to implement teaching strategies in day-to-day life.
I use the function of behavior (why behavior occurs) to guide treatment.
I follow the science of Verbal Behavior to teach communication and language skills.
the process
- Intake paperwork to assess needs
- Free 30-minute meeting to gather info and determine need
- Hands-on behavior and/or skills assessment
- 30-60 minute meeting to review the plan
- Therapy schedule will be based on the child's specific needs and availability.
- Ongoing parent coaching and meetings
- 6-month treatment plan update and review
(May be adjusted to fit specific settings)
