With over 20 years of experience, I know how to spark big smiles and meaningful conversations! I work with toddlers, children, teens, and young adults through engaging individual sessions, group programs, and parent coaching. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including ESDM, Social Thinking, and dynamic learning for Gestalt language processors. I also use DTTC to support children with motor speech challenges and childhood apraxia of speech.

Drawing on my years of experience as a summer camp leader, I make therapy feel fun, engaging, and play-based. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your child’s unique strengths, interests, movement and sensory needs, and may incorporate assistive technology or AAC when appropriate. I also weave literacy learning naturally into every session to support communication and language development.
