I am a Behavioral Therapist and I am kind, passionate, supportive, and I love to help children thrive. I have 6 years of experience designing unique enrichment activities that are all incorporated in play. I can turn anything into a game and being goofy with kiddos makes my heart so full! I truly have never ending patience because when I set a boundary, I hold it. I've found this to be so important because consistency helps children feel secure and know what to expect. I am VERY experienced in helping children navigate emotion regulation, sensory regulation, and finding and developing what works best for the child. With saying that, I want to be clear that I will never ever try to fit a child into a mold. I am very passionate about seeing a child as a whole, meeting them where they are at, and if I am lucky enough finding ways to get inside their world rather than trying to force them into mine. I have extensive training in PECS/AAC and proficient in ASL.
