Empowering individuals and families through compassionate, evidence-based behavioral supports.
Get StartedAt Rising Roots Behavioral, we believe meaningful growth happens through connection, compassion, and collaboration. We provide tailored behavioral supports that focus on understanding the whole person, fostering independence, and promoting lasting positive change.
I began my journey in behavior modification while serving in the Army Reserves after transitioning from active duty. During my time as a drill sergeant, I developed a strong passion for understanding human behavior and started pursuing my bachelor’s degree in psychology.
After completing my undergraduate studies and military service, I transitioned into education—working for a school that served a large population of students exhibiting challenging behaviors. Over three years in both middle and high school classrooms, I gained invaluable experience helping students navigate behavioral and emotional challenges through structure, empathy, and consistency.
While teaching, I began my master’s degree in psychology and later became a Behavior Specialist with an in-home care company. During this time, I completed certification as an OIS (Oregon Intervention System) Instructor, allowing me to write safeguarding physical interventions into behavior support plans and train others on how to implement them safely and ethically.
Today, my work continues to be guided by a belief in compassionate structure, individualized support, and the power of human connection to create meaningful, lasting change.
Comprehensive evaluations designed to identify the function of behaviors and guide individualized support planning.
