What is important to you, for your client to feel, when working with you?
When working with children, it is important to me that they feel safe and supported throughout the learning process. I want them to feel encouraged and motivated as they develop new skills using ABA techniques.
Who do you believe you are for a client as they manage their problems?
I am a dedicated ABA therapist dedicated to support children as they learn and develop new skills. I work closely with families to provide personalized care that fosters growth and meaningful progress.
What drives your passion for seeing clients?
What drives my passion for working with clients is seeing the meaningful progress they make and knowing that I play a part in helping children and their families thrive. Witnessing their growth inspires me to provide compassionate, individualized care every day.
How do you believe clients "get better"?
I believe clients make meaningful progress through consistent, individualized interventions that focus on their unique strengths and needs. With patience, collaboration, and evidence-based strategies, children develop the skills and confidence to improve their daily lives.
