I am a mom of 3 boys, 3 rescue dogs, and 3 cats. I grew up in El Paso, TX and have been a South Austinite for the past 20 years. Ten years ago, I went to work for an amazing mentor and BCBA, Rebecca Ryan, and helped start her business, Sandbox ABA, and we grew it together from the ground up. I learned all about autism and how to help out families that have children on the spectrum get the quality services they need. I have seen our small, local ABA centers of Austin and surrounding areas be bought out by big business and know first hand how that has affected the quality of care for children with autism. There are very few of us left where the kiddo’s and their families are top priority.

I have had the honor of helping countless families find quality services for their children.  From the moment they are told they need to take their child to get an autism assessment, to fighting insurance, receiving the care they need and transitioning into the school setting. It is terrifying to hear that your baby may have autism, and my passion is to help as many families as I can through this journey.

Raised in Louisiana, I studied Speech Therapy in undergrad and earned my SLPA license along the way, which gave me a strong foundation in communication development before I found my passion in ABA. I love this field because it allows me to support children in building meaningful skills through individualized, natural, and engaging approaches.

I’ve been a practicing BCBA since 2019, and I primarily use Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI) in my work, focusing on child-led, play-based learning within everyday routines.

I’m really looking forward to getting to know your family and being part of your child’s growth and progress!

As a BCBA of over five year, with a Master’s in Special Education with a focus in Applied Behavior Analysis from Texas State University, I’ve had the opportunity to work with learners ranging from 2 to 21 years old across a variety of needs and settings.

One of my favorite parts of this field is collaborating with families and teams to find creative, individualized solutions that best support each learner’s unique needs. I value flexibility, relationship-building, and creating meaningful learning experiences that help children feel successful and supported.

My goal is always to meet your child where they’re at and support them in becoming their best self, whatever that looks like for them. I believe meaningful progress happens through individualized support, strong relationships, and building on each child’s unique strengths and interests.

Outside of work, I love playing pickleball, spending time with friends and family playing board games, reading, and watching Jeopardy. 

I’m excited to get to know your family and be part of your child’s journey!

I’ve been in the ABA world for almost 10 years, running programs, collecting data, and celebrating the little wins that make a huge difference for kids and families. I’ve worked in homes, clinics, and schools, adapting to whatever each client or setting throws my way. Along the way, I’ve become pretty good at turning tough moments into progress with patience, structure, and a bit of humor. On top of that, I’ve spent time as a substitute teacher, stepping into classrooms at all grade levels, wrangling chaos, finding teachable moments, and proving I can keep a room full of kids on track.

With over 3 years of experience as a full time RBT, I am committed to serving our community with patience, kindness, and empathy. As a parent to two children diagnosed with ASD, I believe my personal experience allows me to be invested in this field. ABA therapy is able to bring about truly life changing outcomes, and I am honored to be a part of every child's journey.

I’m a BCBA in training with 2.5 years in the ABA field so far — and hopefully many more to come.

Compassionate, equal care for every kid is what drives me — and it’s personal. I grew up with foster siblings on the spectrum, and watching how easily kids with autism can be overlooked, rather than truly seen and supported, is what pulled me into this field. I know what’s possible when someone actually shows up.

Every child I work with stays close to my heart and my mind, in everything I do. Right now, I’m soaking up everything I can — sharpening my skills, learning from the team around me, and working through the coursework that’ll get me to BCBA. Every session is practice for the bigger goal: being able to give even more kids and families the care they deserve. If I can look back and know I made a real difference for even one child, that’s a win. 

I was inspired to pursue this field because of my personal experience with autism and the privilege of seeing how meaningful guidance and advocacy can create such a positive impact. My goal is to bring patience, empathy, and encouragement into the work I do each day. I love finding ways to combine nature and learning because growth often happens when we feel curious, calm, and connected to the world around us. 

When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending time with my dog or out on the water kayaking and recharging in nature.

As an RBT, I love working with children, seeing their growth, and being there to celebrate their progress! 

In my free time, I enjoy catching up on my favorite shows, spending time with my family, listening to music, and going to concerts. One of my favorite things to do is exploring new places to eat and trying new foods! 

I have worked with children for over nine years and have been in the ABA therapy industry for almost five years. My biggest motivator in working with children is that getting to be a part of a their world. Where I can give the support and tools to help them communicate and understand themselves. I love being able to help children explore different aspects of their true self. Witnessing a child’s eyes light up when they have found something they love and enjoy is one of the many things I love about this job. 

This extends to to the family that supports any child I work with. I love bringing this energy to families who want to feel safe and comfortable in a space where it can be scary to seek help from others. 

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, I love reading, writing, running and I really, really enjoy fishing! I'm a U.S. Army Veteran, serving from 2020 - 2023, and a single mom who came back home after having my son to be closer to my village. When I left the service, I went back to my passion; working in childcare. I love advocating for these children and helping them gain the confidence to succeed in this big world. Being a mom and caregiver is my greatest title! 

Helping children learn, grow, and build confidence while making each day fun, positive, and encouraging is why I chose this job! Outside of Blossoming, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and exploring new coffee shops.

My passion for helping children with autism began over 20 years ago when my own child was diagnosed. That experience inspired me to dedicate my life to helping children build confidence, learn new skills, and reach their full potential.

I believe that children learn best though play, positive reinforcement, and meaningful experiences that make learning fun. I’m excited to be a part of this journey with everyone at Blossoming and to be able to celebrate every milestone.

I truly enjoy working with children helping them learn, grow and celebrate their unique characteristics! I love creating positive and meaningful connections with the families, children and people I work with. Outside of work you’ll catch me lounging in the river, hula hooping at the park, or catching a show in the beautiful city of ATX!

Working with children and getting to be a part of their growth and learning is one of my favorite things. I enjoy finding fun and creative ways to build a relationship with every child. When I'm not working, you can usually find me hanging out with my cats, trying a new coffee spot, or exploring somewhere new!

I have always had a love and passion for working with kids of all ages and fell in love with being an RBT as soon as I started. Being a part of how these kiddos learn and grow and watching them overcome challenges is what drives me. Patience, encouragement, and empathy is something I hope to provide on each kid during their journey.

Outside of work, I attend Texas State University part-time. If I'm not studying, I'm probably at the river, hanging out with friends, antiquing/thrifting or trying a new coffee shop!

As an RBT, I genuinely love working with kids and getting to be a part of their growth and development. I enjoy getting to know each child, building a connection with them, and seeing their personalities shine. One of my favorite parts of being an RBT is celebrating their progress, whether it's a big milestone or little win. Being able to support a child, watch their confidence grow, and make a positive difference in their life is what makes me love what I do!
