Kelly is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Licensed Behavior Analyst, and the owner of Sunrise Therapeutic Services of Virginia. She lives in Bracey, Virginia with her husband, two children, two cats, and two dogs. Kelly discovered the world of ABA while working as a teacher and quickly found a passion for helping children and families build skills that make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
As both a parent and an educator, Kelly has experienced firsthand how important it is for families to feel supported, heard, and confident in helping their children grow. She is especially passionate about meaningful parent and caregiver involvement and believes the greatest progress happens when families are empowered with practical tools they can use beyond therapy and in the moments that matter most.
Throughout her own parenting and professional journey, Kelly has held closely to a simple belief: when we know better, we do better. Her goal is to create a collaborative approach to ABA where caregivers are not simply included in treatment, but are valued as essential members of their child's team.
