GJC Senior Clinician

StephanieHi, I’m Stephanie!

As a behavior analyst for over 15 years, I’ve had the joy of helping others live their best lives.

My practice celebrates the unique qualities of every individual, guiding my clients toward goals that promote growth and a clear path for change.

I work with neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals (with extensive clinical experience in autism) and have specific experience in supporting those entering adulthood. Alongside my professional advocacy for individuals with diverse diagnoses, I am deeply committed to uplifting caregivers of all kinds.

I can’t wait to be a part of your team!

Some of my professional background…

My areas of professional expertise include support through adolescence, reduction of mild to severe challenging behavior, development of motivational systems, and establishment of important life skills. I have worked with clients (and their providers) from preschool to teens to adults.

I’ve also worked as a full-time caregiver to a young adult with autism spectrum disorder. We navigated topics like shared living arrangements, technology, cultural humility, community employment, and healthy routines.

I believe the science of learning, combined with a lot of compassion, can improve lives.

When I’m not in the office…

You can find me supporting local art, jamming to live music, or enjoying Worcester’s incredible food scene.

Rainstorms? Yes, please! I absolutely love them. It’s a great time to read for pleasure!
