"Behavior, unlike the flower, does not naturally bloom." – Baer & Wolf (1970)

Since 2012, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals and families affected by Autism and other developmental disabilities live fuller, more meaningful lives. I earned my Master’s in Education in Autism Studies and Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University, and from the very beginning, I’ve been passionate about using ABA to make a lasting impact.

My clinical focus has always been on assessing and treating challenging behaviors like aggression and self-injury; especially by helping individuals develop functional language. I’m also deeply committed to increasing awareness and access to quality ABA services in underserved communities.

I started my journey in this field as a part-time Behavior Technician, and that experience continues to shape how I lead Aura Behavioral Health today. At Aura, we invest in our people. We’re a clinician-led team that believes your growth, well-being, and impact truly matter - and I’m proud to help create a place where those values come to life.
