I have been in the field of behavior analysis for 10 years. I have experience working with individuals from 2 years through 22 years of age across the home, clinic, school, daycare, and community locations. I received my Masters in Education with an emphasis in behavior analysis from the University of Washington and am licensed to practice in Oregon and Washington.

I believe very strongly in the power of trust, respect, fun, and creating an overall joyful environment as the cornerstone of treatment for every client. Neurodiversity-affirming practices and child-led assent-based care are the top priorities for all treatment recommendations. As a parent of a special needs child myself, my goal is always to work alongside parents to ensure that every skill we work to build has a direct impact on the child and on the family’s quality of life. In order to ensure this, I strive to create a strong collaborative relationship with every family that I work with.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and our pet conure parrot. We like to visit the Children’s Museum and other museums, playgrounds, arcades, the farmer’s market, etc. I also enjoy time outdoors, gardening, nature walks, and day trips to the beach or the lake.
