A Message from Our Founder

At Gentle Pathways ABA, our work is driven by a deep-seated belief that every child is a unique gift, filled with potential and purpose. As the founder, my vision is to create a space where faith and clinical expertise meet, providing families with not just therapy, but a community of support. We understand the challenges you face, and we are committed to walking this road with you, offering individualized care that respects the dignity of every child while fostering the skills they need to lead fulfilling, independent lives. My experience of being a Child Protective Services (CPS) Investigator, in addition to being a Psychology Professor for 18 years as well as being in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) field for 6 years, has afforded me great experience, compassion and understanding of what it takes to help each child reach their fullest potential. My goal is help decrease the frustration and stress that families experience, by providing them with the tools to help their child as he/she makes progress over time.

Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your journey.
