Most things begin with an idea. A purpose. A why.

A driving instinct that encourages you to leave your mark on the world.

For me, that’s Playhaus.

I’ve had the honor of being a part of the Applied Behavior Analysis field for the last 10 years. Four of which I’ve spent as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst., predominately supporting the autistic community. This has allowed me to recognize the importance of what it truly means to provide an individualistic + flexible approach to supporting families.

Almost simultaneously, this realization forced me to acknowledge (& accept) that although sometimes necessary, our field’s primary (& overly rigid) delivery model does not meet our community’s needs on a large enough scale.

My mission is to provide authentic services to the families that don’t fit the current mold. For the families that can’t commit to 30-40 hours of therapy a week. Or the families who have been on the waitlist for extended periods of time.

In my practice, I’ve found that when therapy is playful, intentional, and most importantly, meaningful to the child, there is an opportunity for greater success regardless of delivery hours.

As an independent BCBA, my role is to navigate the connection of your child’s play language to one that fosters meaningful behavior change.
