Maria is an ABA therapist from the north suburbs of Chicago, IL. She began working in the field in 2022 and has since gained experience providing individualized ABA therapy across a variety of settings, including in-home, clinic, and school environments, as well as therapeutic day schools.
In school-based settings, Maria has collaborated closely with interdisciplinary teams including occupational therapists, speech therapists, music therapists, and teachers to support student learning and promote independence in activities of daily living across environments.
Building on her clinical experience, Maria enrolled in Northern Illinois University’s Master’s program in Applied Behavior Analysis. As of 2025, she has completed one year of the program, further strengthening her understanding of the core principles and foundations of applied behavior analysis.
In addition, Maria brings one year of experience teaching English abroad, which enhanced her understanding of language development and reinforced the importance of functional, meaningful communication.
Maria is deeply passionate about the work she does and is committed to delivering high-quality, client-centered therapy. She shares, “The most fulfilling part of working with clients is seeing a child’s growth and building strong relationships with both the child and their family.”
