1.
10 Minute Free Consultation
I understand a commitment to a full speech and language assessment or even knowing if your child needs speech and language support can feel daunting. I happily offer a free consultation to help answer any questions you may have. This will allow us time to chat and answer any questions you may have and work together to determine the next steps.
2.
Virtual Speech & Language Therapy
I provide both assessments to help determine your child's needs, especially in regards to their function within the classroom and/or within their home environment.
I also provide 1-1 speech and language therapy for your little one, focusing on the following areas of needs: expressive/receptive language, early intervention (0-3 year olds), articulation, phonological processing and social language (pragmatics).

Virtual and in person Speech Language Assessments
I believe that in order to truly find growth and success, it goes beyond the 1-1 therapy session. It requires the participation of the child's teacher, parents and support network to reinforce and encourage the techniques and tools acquired during our therapy groups.
​
I am a big advocate for teacher education and support. Coming from High Tech High and San Marcos Unified for 7 years, and lead Speech Language Pathologist at Cal Pac Virtual Charter school the past four years, I was responsible to educate the teachers in social skills terminology, providing classroom lessons and teacher presentations. By the end of each year all the students and teachers were using similar language and you can see the growth in the socialization and emotional growth of all our students.

My Approach
I believe in order for a child to show growth, it not only requires working with me but their whole support system. I encourage parents and teachers to implement the strategies and techniques I will create when working with your child to allow them the most success as they strive to grow their speech and language abilities. I will also provide weekly emails with tips and tools to implement these strategies that help our little one grow and succeed in what he or she is working on.
