About ContextABA

ContextABA was built on a simple belief: early intervention should be thoughtful, ethical, and grounded in both science and dignity.

Meaningful Skill-Building

We help children build communication, independence, social connection, and resilience in ways that support everyday life.

Dignity and Autonomy

Our goal is not to make children appear "typical," but to help them thrive as themselves.

Confidence, Not Compliance

We believe therapy should build confidence, flexibility, and participation — not pressure children to mask.

Family Partnership

We work collaboratively with families and believe parents should feel supported, informed, and empowered.

What We Believe

At ContextABA, we believe children grow best when they are understood — not molded. We are a Denver-based early intervention clinic providing neurodiversity-affirming Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for young children with autism. Our work is rooted in science, guided by compassion, and shaped by context.

Our Core Values

These principles guide how we think, how we teach, and how we support children and families every day.
Context Matters
Behavior is shaped by environment, relationships, and experience. We look beyond surface behaviors to understand function, history, and meaning.
Dignity Is Non-Negotiable
We protect autonomy, respect communication in all forms, and reject compliance-driven models of care.
Science Guides Us
Our work is grounded in evidence-based ABA and informed by contextual behavioral science. We measure what matters.
Flexibility Over Perfection
We help children build psychological flexibility — the ability to adapt, try again, and move toward what matters, even when things feel hard.
Families Are Partners
Parents are collaborators, decision-makers, and experts on their child.
Play Is Powerful
Children learn best through joy, safety, and connection. Play is not a break from learning — it is how learning happens.

Integrity and Responsibility

We take seriously the responsibility that comes with supporting early development.

Continuous Learning

Training, mentorship, and reflective supervision are built into our culture.

Compassionate Presence

Children and families deserve warmth, patience, and meaningful human connection.

Clinical Skill

Thoughtful, well-trained professionals delivering individualized care.

Our Team

The quality of care a child receives is shaped by the people delivering it. At ContextABA, our clinicians, behavior technicians, and support staff bring skill, heart, and intentionality into every session. We value our team deeply and invest in ongoing training, mentorship, and reflective supervision so that children receive care that is both compassionate and clinically strong.

Meet the Founder
ContextABA was created from years of clinical experience, ongoing study, and a commitment to strengthening how ABA is delivered in early intervention. The vision behind the center brings together contextual behavioral science, neurodiversity-affirming principles, and a belief that rigorous care and compassionate practice should move forward together.
Professional Background
For many years, I have devoted my professional life to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, working alongside children, families, and multidisciplinary teams across a variety of clinical and educational settings.

Throughout that time, I have remained deeply engaged not only in providing services, but in contributing to the ongoing growth of our field — presenting at conferences, offering peer trainings, and participating in professional dialogue about ethical, effective care.

Today, my work continues to focus on strengthening how ABA is delivered in early intervention through contextual behavioral science, neurodiversity-affirming principles, and research on psychological flexibility.

Context + Science + Compassion + Flexibility
Our formula reflects years of clinical experience, advanced study, and a commitment to delivering care that is both evidence-based and deeply respectful of each child’s individuality.

Flexibility

We help children build resilience, communication, and real-life participation without pressure to mask.

Science

Our work is grounded in evidence-based ABA and guided by meaningful progress.

Compassion

We prioritize dignity, emotional safety, autonomy, and ethical care.

Context

We look at the whole child — environment, history, relationships, strengths, and sensitivities.
