Who we are
Meet Karina – Dedicated ABA Professional, BCBA, LBA.
Hello, my name is Karina, and I am honored to welcome you to Kai’s Place!
With a decade of experience in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) field, I have devoted my career to supporting individuals and families in their pursuit of meaningful change and growth. My journey began with a deep interest in understanding human behavior, which led me to explore a variety of settings—including academic environments, clinics, and in-home support. These diverse experiences have allowed me to develop a well-rounded perspective and adapt my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
In 2020, I earned my Master’s degree in ABA from Ball State University, further enhancing my expertise and commitment to evidence-based practices. This academic foundation, combined with hands-on experience, has equipped me to deliver high-quality care and support in every situation.
What truly sets my practice apart is my unwavering passion for my work. I believe that genuine dedication makes a difference—not only in the lives of my clients but also in the overall effectiveness of the services I provide. I approach each case with empathy, professionalism, and a sincere desire to help others achieve their goals.
If you are seeking guidance, support, or simply want to learn more about ABA and how it can benefit you or your loved ones, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to create lasting, positive change.
The Roots of Kai’s Place
The inspiration for founding Kai’s Place comes directly from my journey through a variety of professional environments in the ABA field. These experiences offered both invaluable lessons and a firsthand view of persistent challenges—burnout among providers, a lack of meaningful support, and overwhelming client caseloads that too often diminished the quality of care.
Recognizing these flaws, I was motivated to build a company that would not only be attentive to the progress and well-being of our clients, but also deeply committed to supporting our team members. By creating a balanced and nurturing environment, I strive to ensure that everyone—clients and staff alike—can flourish and realize their fullest potential.
