About My Clients
I work primarily with autistic children and their families, especially young children needing support with communication, emotional regulation, social connection, flexibility, play, and daily routines. My practice is a good fit for families seeking compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming, play-based ABA that values autonomy, emotional safety, and meaningful real-life growth.
My Background and Approach
I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Clinical Director, and founder of ContextABA, with experience providing both center-based and home-based ABA services to autistic children and their families. My clinical work focuses on communication development, emotional regulation, social connection, play skills, flexibility, and reducing barriers that interfere with meaningful participation in everyday life. I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, assent-based, and relationship-centered ABA that prioritizes emotional safety, autonomy, and individualized care. I am also a PhD candidate in Applied Behavior Analysis, with a strong interest in language development, perspective taking, and complex social-emotional learning. Families often seek my practice when they want support that is both evidence-based and compassionate — care that helps children build skills while feeling understood, respected, and supported as whole individuals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, understood, respected, and supported as they grow into themselves. My work is deeply grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and compassionate care that values autonomy, emotional regulation, connection, and dignity. I am passionate about creating environments where differences are not viewed as deficits, but as part of the diversity of being human. I care deeply about ethical and contextual approaches to ABA that look beyond behavior alone and consider communication, emotional experiences, learning history, sensory needs, and relationships. My goal is to help families feel supported rather than judged, and to create meaningful, sustainable growth that improves quality of life for both children and caregivers.
