My approach to care is built on personal dedication and professional knowledge. As a father to a 15-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome and an 8-year-old son with Autism, I have over 15 years of daily hands-on experience. Professionally, I've worked as a 1:1 paraprofessional at the elementary level with students with Autism, following BIPs, IEP goals, and teaching life skills. I support non-verbal children, those with intellectual disabilities, and those who exhibit aggressive behaviors. I hold a B. A. in Psychology from CSUF and have experience in private practice with trauma and mental illness. Patience, adaptability, and calm presence are key. I empathize deeply with parents' daily struggles, am transparent, encourage questions, and offer support to help the whole family achieve a better quality of life.
