Licensed clinical social worker specializing in behavioral supports for individuals with developmental disabilities.
United StatesI am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with extensive experience delivering person-centered behavioral supports, clinical supervision, and program leadership across residential and community settings. I specialize in working with individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and complex behavioral needs.
My work includes developing and implementing evidence-based positive behavioral support (PBS) plans, conducting functional behavioral assessments, training staff, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and state agencies to ensure regulatory compliance and high-quality care. I have led committees, supervised interns, and represented programs at local and state-level initiatives.
I am committed to advocacy, dignity, and individualized care—leveraging crisis intervention experience, data-driven monitoring, and community outreach to improve outcomes for individuals and families while promoting staff development and system improvements.
