Hello, my name is Kristi, I am looking to help make differences in the world, your family and better the quality of life for every individual that has abilities and personal struggles. I have 9+ years of experiences in the work field, an undergraduate focused in Early Childhood atypical and typical. My Masters Degree is in Special Education with an emphasis in ABA. I have worked with various families & children, non-verbal students/ high functioning and low functioning individuals with autism. That also includes duel diagnosis and behavior crisis/therapy. I am very qualified and well rounded but most of all my soul, heart and love goes into this. I find this field to be a lifestyle. I am looking to help a wonderful family PT for needs some Fridays into Sunday. I look forward to hearing from you and about your family. I strive to make you feel safe and comfortable along with providing my knowledge, & having fun with an individual who deserves the dignity and respect from everyone.

    Kristi was amazing!! She was so thoughtful and thorough and asked us tons of questions before she arrived to make sure she was super prepared to help out with our special needs son. Her experience and knowledge definitely helped put us at ease as we were 100% confident that our little guy was in excellent hands. So easy to communicate with as well. We'd hire her again in a second!!
