Chrissy is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst specializing in the areas of verbal behavior, crisis intervention, social skill development, and performance management. She earned her Master of Science degree in behavior analysis from Simmons University and is currently pursuing her PhD from Simmons as well.

Chrissy’s career grew from a love of education and teaching. Seeing the need for quality and empirically derived services for those affected by developmental delays and disorders, such as autism, Chrissy began her work experience and education in the field of behavior analysis. Since 2006, Chrissy has worked in homes, public and private schools, community settings as well as within social skills groups developing and supervising programs for children and their families.

CCBS came to fruition as a result of a desire to provide top-notch services to San Francisco Bay Area families by ensuring that the clinicians were well educated, motivated, and passionate.
