I am a mother of two and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. As a parent coach/behavior consultant, I work with families to address challenges that arise in daily life: tantrums, not listening, aggression (hitting, biting, throwing), bedtime routine/sleep issues, toilet training, picky eating/mealtimes, self-care skills, adjusting to a new sibling, sibling fights, academic and behavior challenges in school, you name it. I am dedicated to supporting parents to come up with functional, effective, and easy-to-implement strategies that will work for their children and parenting style. All of the strategies I recommend are evidence-based interventions, and most of them I have implemented myself as a parent. My goal is to increase desired behavior and reduce/eliminate unwanted or unhealthy behavior so that your kids and you can thrive!

I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, and earned a Master of Arts in special education from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). I worked with children with autism and other special needs for over 17 years, earning my Board Certification as a Behavior Analyst in 2010. Before starting my own consultation practice, I was a Clinical Director at a leading agency that provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment to neurodiverse children.

When I became a parent, I became a better clinician. I understand the daily struggles, stressors, and guilt that come with being a parent. I am here to help you work through challenges so you see positive behavior change that you, your child, and your village will be able to sustain long-term.
