As the "expert", I determine the diagnosis and choose evidence based treatment. I have learned that the most effective therapy must be patient-driven. It should be fun, interesting, dynamic, and involve the patient's family to maximize home practice.

I love to mix it up, every client is so unique that it requires thoughtful preparation, integrating strategies, both traditional and non-traditional. We learn best when our activities are personalized and have meaning for us as an individual.

I practice goal-oriented, research-based, engaging therapy that focuses on supporting my patient's communication needs. Once I have identified an area of growth using a variety of assessment tools, I create reasonable objectives that will help my patients gain independence in everyday life.

I like to meet my students where they are at and follow their lead. I make an effort to find out what interests them and incorporate that into our therapy sessions. This makes our time together fun and engaging, while also maximizing their potential to communicate and express themselves.Description goes here

Functional, play-based, child led therapy approach

Empathetic, Play-Based, Parent Coaching, Strength-Based, Neurodiversity Affirming

In my play-based therapy approach, I engage children through creative, tailored activities that feel like play while promoting communication skills. I believe in collaborating closely with families to ensure progress is consistent and meaningful, providing a warm, professional, and supportive environment for each child’s development.
