Katharina Enge
Registered Behavior Therapist
My name is Katharina, but everyone calls me Kat. I’m 35 years old and originally from Germany. Two years ago, I moved to the United States due to my husband’s permanent change of duty station, he’s an active duty soldier in the Army. This move marked a significant turning point in my life, both personally and professionally. In Germany, I dedicated 17 years of my life to the medical field, having completed my nursing degree there. Nursing was more than just a job for me, it was a calling. The satisfaction of helping others and making a tangible difference in their lives brought me immense joy. However, when we relocated to the United States, I saw it as an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to explore new avenues. After some contemplation, I decided to change my career path and became a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). This role has been incredibly fulfilling. Working closely with clients and witnessing their growth and progress brings me a profound sense of accomplishment. It’s a joy to see how my efforts can help shape someone’s future positively. Outside of my professional life, I’m a mom to two wonderful girls. Family is my cornerstone, and I cherish the time we spend together. We often have family gatherings or meet with friends for cookouts. These moments are filled with amazing conversations and laughter, creating memories that I hold dear. I’m also an avid outdoor enthusiast. There’s something incredibly refreshing about being in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I love going on hikes and exploring new trails, immersing myself in the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. These outdoor adventures provide me with a sense of peace and rejuvenation. Life has been a journey of growth and transformation, and I embrace each chapter with gratitude. The move to the United States, while challenging, opened up new horizons for me and allowed me to pursue a career that I love. I’m excited to continue this journey, both professionally and personally, surrounded by my family and friends.

Krystal Bowden
Lead Registered Behavior Therapist
My name is Krystal Bowden, my friends call me Sheree. I am a Registered Behavior Therapist born and raised in the heart of Chicago, IL. My love for children started at an early age. Once I graduated from high school I went on to college to get my associate's degree in early childhood development. While obtaining that degree I worked as a daycare teacher where I worked with a variety of children of all ages. Upon graduating, I moved here to Texas with my mom and continued my passion for children by landing a job working as an early head start teacher, working with babies and toddlers 6 weeks to 2yrs old. During that time, I encountered plenty of children with multiple disabilities from autism to ADHD as well as several other diagnoses. While working with these children I decided to obtain my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology because I wanted to study the different psychological encounters inside the brain, we as humans go through on a day-to-day basis, from adolescence to adulthood. In addition to that, I began working in the mental health field with adolescence & adults with disabilities that were coming out the juvenile system. Working with those adolescence was a big challenge as you never knew what you were walking into. It was not until then that I discovered what ABA is and how similar it was to what I was already doing. The more I worked in the mental health field, the more knowledge I gained about children with autism, the more interested I became at wanting to help children on the spectrum. I became an RBT in 2022 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. To be able to become the voice and reason for these children to wake up and go through life and cope with the things that are important, is an overwhelming feeling of joy. I’m now in school to obtain my masters in ABA with a passion to soon become a BCBA, adding on to the list of wonderful people that help make a difference every day in the lives of these amazing children.
Jessica Holmes
Registered Behavior Therapist
My name is Jessica Holmes, my friends and family call me Jess. I have a 10-year old son named Brody, that I absolutely adore. When I am not working, you can find me at all of my sons sporting events and/or the emergency room, as he is all boy and very active. lol My munchkin definitely keeps me on my toes. In addition to hanging out with Brody, I LOVE Mexican food, green tea and country music. Not many people know this about me, but I also use to sing. I am a BIG animal person; all rescues and I absolutely love working with children; it has been my life's work. Over the past 10 years I have been in the pre-K classroom working with children between the ages of 2-3 years old and I'd love to think that my nitch is finding new and creative ways to help littles learn. I have been working with children for almost 20 years and have found that when learning is made fun, children tend to excel. More recently in my classroom I have had the experience of being able to teach several children on the autism spectrum, which is what has drawn me to ABA. My love for children and my desire to continuously learn new ways to help them excel, regardless of diagnosis, has ignited a new spark in me to learn and implement ABA to help children become the best versions of themselves that they can be.
