graduated from Kaplan University (now Perdue University) with a Master of Science in Psychology, specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis, and has worked in a variety of settings in Montreal and surrounding areas, ranging from in-center and in-home direct therapy to consulting with parents, schools, and daycare learning centers. She also oversees a dynamic team of ABA therapists, serving families affected by autism. Prior to starting her graduate career, she was engaged in various research projects, one of which was a published work, “The  Meaning-Making of Negative Life Events”. Following interviewing hundreds of participants and hearing challenging personal experiences, it was her mission to help others live their best lives possible. She began working with the elderly at The Douglas Hospital, where the goal was to encourage individuals with mental health issues to participate in daily living activities using positive reinforcement strategies. She fell in love with motivating others to participate in these activities when these tasks were very difficult for them to accomplish.

With her lifelong desire for working with children, Cheryl proceeded to gain various training with Psychologists and Behavior Analysts in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, so she could gain experience working with children with special needs and autism. Her experiences have included working with children with severe behaviors, early intervention, social skills, verbal behavior training, parent and staff training, independent life skills training, and supervising intervention programs in person and remotely via online services. With her clients, she focuses on providing meaningful behavior changes which are based on evidence-based practices so that the learner reaches their full potential.
