I received a Master of Science degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and Therapy from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. My behavior analytic practice has included working with children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and mental illness.
Throughout my career I have collaborated with professionals from multiple disciplines. I have successfully coordinated care for children and adults with developmental and psychiatric disorders with Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Psychologists, Medical Doctors, and Psychiatrists. Most importantly, I have been able to effectively communicate with each specialty to develop treatment, modify plans, and achieve desired outcomes for clients.
My goal in my clinical practice is to help increase the quality of life for all the individuals that I work with. In order to achieve this, I value continuously evolving my knowledge base to be able to provide great care throughout a wide range of skills as needed for each individual.
