I spent the first half of my career practicing as an Autism and challenging behavior specialist within the educational system. I place a great deal of value on evidence-based approaches. I work with teenagers 14 + and adults living with anxiety and eating disorders. Specializing in OCD, phobias, body focused repetitive behaviors, health anxiety, illness anxiety, ARFID and BED; I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities that include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). My approach to treatment is grounded in principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and I am trained in habit reversal and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERPT).
I received my bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University in communications in 1999. My Master of Social Work (MSW) was earned at St. Ambrose University in 2002. My board certification in applied behavior analysis (BCBA) was completed in 2010.
I accept Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, most out of state Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans and Cigna. My self-pay rate is $185 for your first appointment and $160 after that.
Please inquire about professional development training requests grounded in ABA.
