I have been a caregiver, behavior therapist, counselor and teacher for those with special needs. I have worked for non-profit organizations as a residential teacher/counselor, providing services to those with co-occurring disabilities and needs. Additionally, I have worked as an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapist in a public school setting with children diagnosed with PDD-NOS and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have also worked as a 1-on-1 aide and a residential counselor for adolescents with psychological and emotional difficulties. In addition to my experience, I have earned a BA in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Masters of Education in School Counseling. I love working with all people, children as well as adults. I also enjoy working with families of special needs individuals. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how I can help!
