Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Miami, FL

We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, anxious, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began my career volunteering in the Child Life department at Miami Children's Hospital, in 2007.

I provide ABA therapy where the behaviors are most likely to occur: in the home, at school, and in the community.
