THE APPROACH
About Behavior Shapes
Welcome to Behavior Shapes, a highly individualized parent coaching and behavior support practice dedicated to supporting families, individuals, and the broader community.
This work is designed for parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next, as well as for individuals and organizations seeking practical, meaningful support. My goal is to help people move from that place into clarity- with a clear, workable plan that can be applied in real life. Together, we focus on understanding why behavior is happening and what to do about it in a way that is realistic, consistent, and sustainable.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based behavior science and shaped by collaboration, psychological flexibility, and the creativity of the arts. Focused on compassionate care and behavioral artistry, I design individualized programs that build essential skills, reduce daily challenges, and make life feel more manageable. The work is both structured and flexible- giving families and individuals tools they can use immediately while also supporting long-term, meaningful change.
A strong focus of my work is the development of functional, real-world skills across settings. This includes parent coaching, one-on-one support for children and adults with disabilities, and collaboration with schools and community organizations. I also offer arts-based social skills and learning opportunities, integrating ceramics and hands-on creative processes to support engagement, flexibility, and skill development in a natural, accessible way.
Behavior Shapes is not just about individual support; it's about building a community where families, individuals, and care teams feel understood, supported, and connected. Through parent coaching, one-on-one services, and community-based workshops, I aim to create spaces where people can learn, grow, and feel less alone in the process.
Whether working in-person or virtually, my approach is inclusive and adaptable for individuals of all ages and abilities, and designed to meet people where they are- without overwhelm or unnecessary complexity.
