Behavior Chief

After receiving my Masters in Clinical Psychology, I became a therapist in a Therapeutic High School for severely mentally ill adolescents. Hungry for more unconventional approaches and a thirst for showing actual compassion, I substitute taught and case managed a STEP Autism High School Classroom for 2 years. It was in this classroom and with these minds that the way I saw the world changed entirely, and I became fully devoted to the Behavior Analysis Route and getting my BCBA.

Unconventional, Rogue, Outside-of-the-Box, and Unique

BA: Psychology (Applied Behavior Analysis Concentration) MA: Clinical Psychology (Addiction/Conduct Disorder/ODD/Impulse Behavior Disorder Concentration) MA: Applied Behavior Analysis

Because I hate the term "wear a lot of hats", I will say this: I have ridden a lot of rodeos. From nearly majoring in Fine Arts to become a tattoo artist, commissioning my own work as a portrait artist, and become a therapist with a concentration in Conduct Disorder and Impulsive Behavior Disorders, you can say my experience is vast, wide, and even a bit random. My approach is unorthodox. I don't realize how loud my own voice is, I make mistakes and quickly own up to them, and I typically ask for forgiveness rather than permission. I have been told I "go rogue" far too often to work in any school or clinic, but it is my maverick-based and EVIDENCE-BASED approaches that have allowed me to step into the beautiful minds of my little friends with autism. I hope you'll join me!
