Autism Support Services
I am a Behavior Analyst, Inclusion Specialist, and Autism Advocate who partners with organizations, individuals, and families to improve the lives of Autistic people. After spending years working in clinical settings, non-profits, and schools, my experience enables me to truly serve and represent Autistic community members in various contexts. I hold a Masters in education, a Masters in psychology with a specialization in ABA, and I am currently a PhD student .
In addition to my extensive education and professional experiences, I have a great deal personal experience. I am Autistic myself, which provides me with a unique perspective, knowledge, and source of passion.
My focus is to help Autistic people develop awareness and recognize the value in their differences. My aim being to help individuals learn to embrace their differences in manner that allows them to successfully navigate the world yet remain authentically themselves. In doing this I also aim to discover strategies that address challenges, while allowing individuals to become aware of their strengths, realize their potentials, and improve their quality of life. Additionally, I always hold the mission of promoting neurodiversity, facilitating acceptance and inclusion via a spectrum of support services I provide to individuals, families, and organizations.
I vow to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your challenges, recognize your strengths, and discover effective strategies, to improve current practices. As a member of the autism community, I am committed to the promotion of neurodiversity and offer a variety of effective and ethical support services that align with Autistic culture and values. I hold a person centered philosophy and do not recommend nor participate in the targeting of behaviors for the sole benefit of others. I also do not recommend or participate in the targeting of behaviors that do not truly impact quality of life ( i.e. self stimulatory behaviors that do not involve self -injury, harm, or aggression).

It has been my personal mission to render behavioral services to families with Black Autistic children and Black Autistic adults that do not have access to such, at no cost to them.
