Therapist in Peyton, Colorado

I’m a behavioral consultant with 1+ years of experience working with children. I've aided preschool students and toddlers, supervised at-risk minors in domestic violence shelters, and conducted behavioral therapy for those diagnosed with Autism, ADHD (PH, PI, and C), and related conditions. I've worked as an independent contractor for UCLA's PEERS® program, where I coached social skills to teens with Asperger's. I've also completed an internship with Nevada State College at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. There, I worked with women who struggled with substance abuse. As an Air Force spouse, I've done civic engagement with the USAF's 66th Force Support Squadron as well, where I assisted children from military families.

I've worked as a Behavior Technician for APEX Behavioral Consulting as well as Advances Learning Center. In this role, I taught socially significant skills that enhanced the quality of life for children with Autism, by implementing Applied Behavior Analysis.

Colleagues know me for my idealism and strong values. Although I shy away from the podium, I am the first to lend a helping hand where it's needed. I'm resilient in the face of hardship; I strive for harmony by managing conflicts with a democratic approach. I work hard to ensure that my clients' voices and perspectives are heard.

My open-mindedness allows me to see things from unconventional perspectives, as well as pursue creativity from it. Once something sparks my imagination, I put in 100% dedication to my projects and causes. To know that what I do is meaningful gives me purpose, as well as the courage to accomplish the projects and causes I believe in.

During my free time, I write crime novels about the psychological impacts of crime on humanity. You can find out more about my upcoming, Cold War-era, neo-Noir crime thriller here: CrimeAndBeauty.net
