Our Team

---

I live in Duxbury, Massachusetts with my  wife and four children. I started my career in education working as an elementary school teacher and quickly became interested in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis after researching the most effective ways to teach and motivate others. I have been working in the behavioral field for the past 16 years in homes, clinics, and schools. I started out as a behavior therapist in Los Angeles, CA working with young children on the spectrum. I then came back to the East Coast where I worked for the May Institute and studied to become a board certified behavior analyst. I became a BCBA in 2010 at which time I went to work in the public school setting overseeing autism programs and ensuring all students with Autism received necessary services. While working with older students who were aging out of the school system, we realized the options for quality behavior analytics services for adults was almost non-existent. We created Coastal ABA to fill this crucial need for adults with autism and I haven’t looked back. I am passionate about making the lives of individuals with Autism and their families better.

Hi! I started my career in human services 10 years ago working with adults as a vocational advocate. I have an M.Ed in Special Education from Bridgewater State University and earned my BCBA certification after additional coursework from UMass Lowell. I have worked with clients across a number of settings and with a wide range of strengths and abilities. Before joining Coastal I worked as a Clinical Coordinator for a social skills program. I am a strong advocate for client driven services and helping people find valued roles in their community. I live in Carver with my wife Kacey, daughter Saoirse, and a lazy english bulldog named Marty.

I began working with individuals on the autism spectrum about twenty years ago and have had the pleasure of doing so across a wide variety of settings and in many different capacities. After graduating with my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and Special Education at Endicott College, I went on to earn my teaching license and also became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2011. I’m extremely passionate about supporting folks on the autism spectrum with learning skills that are aligned with their values while also enjoy celebrating the many strengths of those who are neurodiverse. I’m particularly interested in international service delivery and culturally appropriate, person-centered supports, and also enjoy teaching others about autism spectrum disorder which I’ve done for about the past ten years in my position as an adjunct psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell campus. I currently reside in Franklin with my husband and son. 

I grew up in Plymouth, MA and graduated from Plymouth South in '96. I have a bachelors degree from Curry College. I got started in the area of applied behavior analysis through my passion of fitness. I worked at a gym on the south shore when a client asked if I would train his son who had autism.  I have been working as a behavior technician with Coastal ABA for the past 3 years and love helping clients increase wellness through nutrition and movement.

I grew up in East Bridgewater and I have been working for Coastal ABA since October 2021.  I completed my RBT certification last summer and look forward to working toward my BCBA certification in the near future. I graduated from Massasoit College and played basketball there. I love coaching and working with people and helping to make a difference in the lives of my clients and their families. 

HI! I joined Coastal ABA in 2024 and I am thrilled to be a part of the team. Originally from Brooklyn, NY my journey has taken me across the U.S., living in various states due to my spouse's Military Service. Together we have three amazing children. 

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Forensic Science, with a minor in Psychology and a Masters degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I am currently accruing clinical hours towards my BCBA certification. My career in ABA began two years ago as a behavioral therapist specializing in early intervention in Orange County, CA. What initially started as a temporary role during a lengthy background check for a position in a Coroner's Department, unexpectedly ignited my passion for ABA. This discovery led me to pursue further studies in the field, and I am obsessed with human behavior. 

I find immense joy in building meaningful connections with each client and I am privileged to witness their growth and achievements. I dedicate my time and expertise to the ASD community with a commitment to enhancing the lives of families through effective behavior therapy. 

Hi! I started working with Coastal in October of 2022 while finishing my Bachelors degree in Psychology at Roger Williams University as part of the class of '23. Currently, I am a graduate student at the University of Southern Maine, as a member of the School Psychology department's Applied Behavior Analysis program for BCBA licensure. I was born and raised in Plymouth, MA, and still reside here with my family. I have been overjoyed with the kinds of impacts that this field can have on people's lives and look forward to many more smiles and strides for growth!  

  My Name is Julianne and I have been a Special Education Early Childhood teacher in Boston Public Schools for 12 years as well as an ABA therapist for 6 years. I started my journey as an educator earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology and went on to pursue a Master’s Degree in Special Education. After completing a Master’s Degree I went on to complete a program in Applied Behavior Analysis and have been working with Coastal ABA ever since. My daily classroom is an ABA based setting for students with ASD as well as other students that will benefit from the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. I became interested in working with Adults with Autism and for Coastal ABA because it is very rewarding to see all of the progress outside of the school setting that is made toward independence and success in the community. I enjoy the similarities and differences that both have to offer and I look forward to all of my experiences and learning opportunities as I grow with Coastal ABA.
