About Willow Behavior

Hi, I'm Lauren.

I'm a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), former special education teacher, and the person behind Willow Tree Behavior Consultation.

For years, I've worked alongside individuals and families navigating challenges that don't always have simple answers. And one of the things I've come to appreciate most about behavior analysis is that it encourages us to look beyond the behavior itself.

To get curious. To ask questions. To understand the patterns, environments, and experiences that shape what we do.

I believe understanding why something is happening can change how we approach what happens next.

That's the foundation of Willow.

Why I Created Willow

Throughout my career, some of the most meaningful moments haven't been about a perfectly implemented intervention or a goal mastered on paper.

They've been the conversations where someone begins to understand something about themselves. When the frustration starts to make sense. When a challenge that once felt impossible becomes something we can approach differently.

I wanted to create a space for more of those moments.

Willow is where I bring my background in behavior analysis beyond the traditional clinical setting, exploring how behavioral science can support neurodivergent women in navigating everyday life.

Not by asking you to become someone different, but by understanding what works for you, identifying what's getting in the way, and finding approaches that fit your life.

My Approach

I don't believe there's one perfect routine, system, or strategy that works for everyone.

I believe in curiosity before judgment, collaboration over prescription, and making room for the reality of being human.

My approach is rooted in behavior analysis: understanding the relationship between our actions and the environments around us, recognizing patterns, and finding meaningful ways to make daily life more manageable.

You bring the expertise of living your life. I bring a different lens, thoughtful questions, and a background in behavioral science.

Together, we can begin to make sense of what's happening and what might help.

A Little More About Me

I'm someone who loves learning, asking questions, and understanding what makes people tick. I believe growth doesn't have to mean constantly pushing ourselves harder. Sometimes, it starts with understanding ourselves differently.

And that's what I hope Willow can offer: a place where curiosity leads to understanding, and understanding creates room for change.
