Gradation: Leading specialist
Superpower: Respect – I build my sessions based on respect for each child and their family, helping improve quality of life through behavioral techniques.
What is most important when working with children: For me, the most important thing is respect for the child and their family who have reached out for help. I help create a comfortable environment for skill development. We cannot change a person, but we can change their behavior. My goal is to help children find inner harmony through positive behavioral changes. I use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children adapt better to the surrounding world.
In my free time, I enjoy learning new methods, attending professional seminars to stay updated on current approaches. I also spend a lot of time with my family, love reading, and on weekends, I enjoy going bowling or taking walks. I look forward to seeing you at our sessions and will be happy to assist everyone.
