With over two decades of experience, she has established herself as a leading expert in child and adult behavior therapy, early diagnosis, and intervention. Her journey from an experienced Behavior Therapist to a Clinical Psychologist exemplifies her unwavering commitment to empowering individuals and families. Under her leadership, CBT2 has become a beacon of hope, offering compassionate, evidence-based interventions that transform lives.
