About

Background and approach

Sarah earned her bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Health from Grand Canyon University and her master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis with an emphasis in Autism at Ball State University. She is a licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and is passionate about building meaningful rapport, providing trauma-informed care, and creating individualized, high-quality treatment plans that support each client’s unique strengths and needs.

When Sarah began her first role in the ABA field, she quickly realized that this was the work she was meant to be a part of. As a BCBA, she loves helping clients and their families recognize the strengths they already have and find ways to make learning and growth fun. She believes that rapport is at the heart of effective therapy and strives to create an environment where clients feel understood, advocated for, safe and encouraged to be themselves.

Outside of work, Sarah loves spending time with her husband and son, playing competitive pickleball and board games, crocheting/crafting, and visiting coffee shops to enjoy a mocha and read her Bible to grow her faith.

Our commitment to you and your child:

‍For our clients, treatment hours are determined on an individualized basis, without predefined blocks.
Our BCBAs weigh the priorities of the family, the availability of the child given other therapeutic services they may be receiving, and the level of support needed to facilitate the best outcomes.
All of our treatment plans have terminal goals that are reported every 6 months and discussed every 3 months directly with the family, to ensure we are always moving towards fading the level of support needed and increasing daily independence.
