Services

I offer comprehensive speech and language evaluations. During an evaluation, I will use a series of assessment tools, including parent or caregiver interviews, questionnaires, observations, language samples, and standardized assessments to determine current strengths and needs. Once the evaluation is completed, I will provide you with a detailed report summarizing assessment results, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations. If it is determined therapy is needed, I will collaborate with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. A treatment plan outlines the frequency of therapy and contains measurable goals targeting identified needs. Evaluations typically take place over the course of two or three 50-minute sessions in my office. If available, an up-to-date evaluation conducted by a licensed speech-language pathologist can be used to determine goals.

I offer one-on-one speech and language therapy sessions. During a therapy session, I will target the goals outlined in the individualized treatment plan. I provide therapy for school-age children and young adults in the areas of articulation, phonology, receptive and expressive language, social communication, and cognition. Sessions take place in my office or via teletherapy and are 50 minutes in length. The majority of that time is spent in direct therapy. The last five minutes are reserved for a follow-up chat to provide feedback.  

I offer optional one-on-one sessions for the parents or caregivers of children receiving individual speech and language therapy to ensure generalization of skills. I emphasize the importance of collaboration between the therapist, child, and family. During the session, we will discuss your child’s progress, share concerns, and problem-solve as we progress toward his or her goals. We will also have the opportunity to review educational resources, implement home programs, and, if applicable, discuss school records, including individualized education programs (IEPs). Sessions take place in my office or online and are typically 30-60 minutes in length.

I offer coaching sessions for families in need of strategies to support day-to-day communication in their homes and communities. Over the years, I have noticed an overlap between the therapy room and life at home with my kids. The skills I focused on with my students and clients were similar to those I was trying to encourage in my own kids, including following directions, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and self-regulation. Moreover, I considered the importance of effective communication in discussing values, setting expectations, establishing routines, and identifying responsibilities. Prior to our first session, you will be given a questionnaire, which will be used to guide our initial conversations. Together, we will develop goals and implement an individualized plan focused on improving day-to-day communication. You will be provided with a written summary and any corresponding materials, including visual aids. Sessions take place in my office or online and are typically 30-60 minutes in length.

I offer small group sessions for students in grades 1-5 seeking to build on their skills in the areas of social communication and executive functioning. During small group sessions, we will address a range of topics, including perspective-taking, inferencing, non-verbal communication, conversation maintenance, problem-solving, thinking flexibly, and self-regulation. Groups typically consist of 2-3 peers or friends. Sessions take place in my office and are 50 minutes in length.
