About Me

With over 25 years of experience working with children and their families, I bring a deep commitment to compassionate care and meaningful support. My extensive experience, trusted approach, and dedication creates services that are both effective and thoughtfully tailored to each child's individual needs. 

My philosophy centers on advocating for children and helping them find their voice. I am passionate about helping families thrive through neuroaffirming care built on trust, understanding, and connection.

In addition to directly supporting the areas below, I collaborate with families and educational teams to provide insight and guidance in the development of individualized education plans (IEPs), helping ensure that each child's unique strengths and needs are holistically addressed both at home and in the school setting.

  • Receptive and expressive language

  • Articulation

  • Reading comprehension

  • Attention/memory/ executive functioning

  • Social (pragmatic) communication disorder

  • Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

  • Childhood apraxia of speech

 I have a select number of openings for new clients and would love to discuss how I can help you and your child thrive. You can reach me via phone or email for more information. 

 I'm looking forward to meeting you and your child!
