My approach
What working with me looks like
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all support. My approach is warm, honest, and individualized — which means I'll meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. I work through a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming lens, which in plain terms means: I see the whole person (or system), I don't pathologize difference, and I believe that behavior — and clinical struggle — always makes sense in context.
I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — a values-based approach that helps people move through difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them — alongside evidence-based behavior analytic strategies. Whether I'm working with a client, a supervisee, or an agency team, we'll look at what's actually happening, why it might be happening, and what small, meaningful shifts can start to make things feel more manageable.
What I believe
I got into this work because I believe every person — regardless of how they communicate, learn, or move through the world — deserves to be understood and supported with dignity. That belief shapes everything I do, whether I'm sitting with a family, supervising a BCBA candidate, mentoring a colleague, or consulting with an agency's team.
Less second-guessing, more trusting yourself
Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear the moment you pass your exam — for a lot of BCBAs, it just gets quieter and shows up differently: the urge to double-check every decision, the hesitation before trusting your own clinical judgment, the fear that you're one wrong call away from being "found out."
Supervision and mentorship shouldn’t just be about hitting competencies — it should be about helping you build the kind of confidence that lets you stay present with a client instead of stuck in your head. Together, we'll work on trusting what you know, making decisions in real time, and recognizing that good clinical judgment doesn't mean having zero doubt — it means knowing how to move forward anyway.
