Hi, I'm Kelli!

BCBA · Parent Coach · Based in Denver, serving families across Colorado

My Story

The people who spend the most time with someone are the ones who can make the biggest difference. That's the belief behind everything I do. For 14 years, I have helped parents, caregivers, and teams turn strategies into real, everyday progress. ​

I started in the field of ABA (applied behavior analysis) in 2012, and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in 2015. Since then, I have practiced as a clinical supervisor, clinical director, and mentor across organizations in California, Colorado, and Virginia. I have worked with toddlers taking their first steps toward communication and young adults getting ready for their first jobs, and everything in between. 

​

What I love working on 

  • Parent and caregiver coaching: helping you feel confident handling the hard moments at home

  • Teens and young adults: social skills, independence, daily living, and preparing for work or college

  • Social skills: as a UCLA PEERS® certified provider, I use an evidence-based approach to building skills to make friends and improve social confidence

  • Early childhood: support for families of young children, including those who are newly diagnosed or on a waitlist

  • Trainings & workshops: practical trainings for schools, parent groups and professional organizations

Outside of work

 When I am not working, you can find me hiking in the mountains with my dog, Banksy, who likes to get to know people on his own terms, but can be won over instantly with a snack!
