Chris is a lifelong resident of Michigan whose experience working with children began in 2012 at a summer arts camp. There, he discovered the incredible lessons that come from seeing the world through a child’s unique perspective. Inspired by that experience, he dedicated his career to supporting children and families through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

After earning his master’s degree in psychology from Western Michigan University in 2014, Chris gained more than a decade of hands-on experience providing ABA therapy. Each day in this field remains deeply rewarding to him, even when challenges arise.

Through years of collaboration with families and organizations, Chris developed has an effective evidence-based approach to care that places quality treatment at its core—always prioritizing the unique goals of each child. He values every step of the journey, from the excitement of early breakthroughs to the proud moments when children begin applying new skills naturally at home and in their communities.

At Avanza ABA, Chris takes pride in running a practice with a genuine mission to help people. Every team member is carefully selected, highly skilled, and thoroughly trained. Chris works closely with families, dedicating time to build strong relationships and gain a deep understanding of each child’s needs. This commitment ensures that care is not only effective, but also personal, consistent, and truly meaningful.
