About me
Kaye is a registered mental health counselor intern specializing in anxiety, trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, and family systems.
With over a decade of experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families, Kaye blends her clinical training with a deep understanding of behavioral health and educational equity.
Currently completing an advanced graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Kaye integrates evidence-based therapeutic approaches grounded in developmental psychology, trauma recovery, and client-centered care. Her work focuses on helping individuals and families manage anxiety, stress, life transitions, and behavioral challenges, with a special emphasis on supporting children and adolescents with developmental and emotional needs.
In addition to her clinical role, Kaye is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and an experienced non-attorney special education advocate. She conducts autism and behavioral assessments (including the ADOS-2 and functional behavior assessments) and supervises ABA programs using tools like VB-MAPP, PEAK, ABLLS-R, AFLS, and EFL. Her dual expertise allows her to develop integrated treatment plans that bridge behavioral support and mental wellness.
Kaye is committed to empowering families through therapeutic counseling, behavioral strategies, and advocacy. She believes that healing and growth happen when emotional health, educational access, and family collaboration intersect, making her a strong ally for clients navigating both clinical and systemic challenges.
