What I offer

From your first questions to ongoing therapy, I'm here every step of the way.

01

Screenings

Not sure if your child needs a full evaluation? A screening is a quick, low-pressure way to get a clearer picture. I'll observe your child's communication skills and let you know whether further assessment is recommended — no commitment required.

  • Takes about 20–30 minutes
  • Informal, play-based observation
  • Clear next-step recommendations
  • Great starting point for concerned families
02

Evaluations

A comprehensive evaluation gives us a full picture of your child's speech and language skills. I use a combination of standardized assessments and naturalistic observation to understand your child's strengths and areas for growth.

  • Standardized and informal assessments
  • Detailed written report provided
  • Diagnosis and eligibility determination
  • Personalized therapy recommendations
03

Speech & Language Therapy

Individualized, play-based therapy sessions tailored to your child's specific goals. Every session is designed to feel like fun — because the best learning happens when kids don't even realize they're working.

  • Speech sound disorders & articulation
  • Apraxia of speech (CAS)
  • Receptive & expressive language
  • Early intervention (birth–3)
  • Fluency & stuttering
  • Social communication & autism support
04

Parent Consultation

You are your child's most important communication partner. Parent consultations give us dedicated time to talk through your child's progress, answer your questions, and equip you with strategies to support their development at home — every single day.

  • Progress updates & goal review
  • Home practice strategies
  • Guidance for daily routines
  • Collaboration with teachers & caregivers

Areas of focus

I specialize in a wide range of speech and language needs. If you're wondering whether your child's challenges fall into one of these areas, I'd love to chat.

Speech Sound Disorders

Helping children produce sounds clearly and accurately so they can be understood by family, friends, and teachers.

Apraxia of Speech

Specialized treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) — a motor speech disorder where the brain has difficulty coordinating the movements needed for speech.

Receptive & Expressive Language

Supporting children who have difficulty understanding language (receptive) or expressing their thoughts, needs, and ideas (expressive).

Early Intervention

Early support makes a big difference. I work with children from birth through age 3 to build a strong communication foundation during the most critical developmental window.

Fluency & Stuttering

Compassionate, evidence-based support for children who stutter — building confidence, reducing struggle, and helping them communicate freely.

Social Communication & Autism

Helping children develop the social language skills needed to connect with others — including turn-taking, understanding social cues, and building meaningful conversations.

How I deliver therapy

Flexible options to fit your family's schedule and your child's comfort.

In-Home Therapy

I come to you. Therapy in your home means your child is relaxed, comfortable, and ready to learn — and I can incorporate their favorite toys and routines into our sessions.

Daycare Services

I bring therapy directly to your child's daycare or preschool, minimizing disruption to their day while maximizing learning in a natural social setting.

Teletherapy

High-quality speech therapy from anywhere. Engaging, interactive, and just as effective — perfect for busy families or when in-person isn't possible.
