About Maria
Experience: 10 yrs
Dr. Maria, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA I'm a doctoral-level Board Certified Behavior Analyst with 25+ years working with challenging elder care situations - dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke recovery, and traumatic brain injuries. I excel with diverse personalities and temperaments, including those who are frustrated, resistant, or in crisis. My approach combines clinical expertise with genuine warmth: I assess what's driving difficult behaviors and create practical strategies that work. I've also cared for dogs since childhood and will continue as long as I'm on this earth. My home has 25 years of professional behavior training built in, and I'm known for a positive behavior support approach. I regularly watch neighborhood dogs and care for pets at my parents' senior living community. Whether with people or pets, I bring calm, skilled care rooted in behavioral science and a lifetime of dedication.
