Speech-Language Therapy

My approach to speech and language therapy celebrates and builds from a child’s strengths and individuality, supports a family’s values and needs, and delivers intervention plans for children and adolescents to grow and thrive. Too often, speech and language services take a deficit-based approach, looking to change or “fix” something in order to make an individual appear more typical. In contrast, my practice is rooted in an understanding that neurodiversity is natural. I support authentic communication through skill building, self-advocacy, caregiver education, and removing barriers that a neurotypical world places on neurodivergent communication. My strengths are in supporting Autistic communication, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), Speech-sound production, Gestalt Language Processing, and Narrative Language. With over a decade of additional experience in medical settings, I am equipped to serve a diverse array of communication needs.
