Individualized support for the way your child actually learns.

Every child I work with is different, and so is every plan I create. I use the most current research in reading, writing, speech, language, and executive functioning, then build a session that fits your child's needs, age, and personality.

 

Below is an overview of the services I offer. If you're not sure which one is the best fit, that's okay. We'll figure it out together on a consultation call.

Comprehensive Evaluations

Clear answers, in plain language.

If you're not sure what's going on, an evaluation is a great place to start. I provide thorough, individualized assessments that look at reading, writing, language, and communication, then walk you through what I found and what I'd recommend.

 

You'll leave with a clear understanding of your child's strengths, areas of need, and a personalized plan for next steps.

Dyslexia & Speech-Language Therapy

Reading, writing, and language support that's grounded in research.

This is structured literacy instruction for students who need help with:

 

  • Decoding and reading fluency

  • Spelling and writing

  • Reading comprehension

  • Articulation and phonological skills

  • Receptive and expressive language

 

I use Sounds-Write and SPELL-Links methods, both of which are research-based and designed for kids who need explicit, systematic instruction. Sessions include structured literacy work paired with play-based activities to keep things engaging.


Best for: Students ages 6 to 18+ with dyslexia, language-based learning disabilities, or speech and language challenges.

Executive Functioning & Speech-Language Therapy

Building the skills behind the skills.

Executive functioning is what helps your child plan, focus, organize, manage time, and follow through. When those skills aren't developing the way they should, school and daily life get a lot harder than they need to be.

 

In these sessions, we work on things like:

 

  • Planning and prioritizing

  • Time management

  • Task initiation and follow-through

  • Organization (of materials, ideas, and writing)

  • Self-monitoring and flexibility

  • Communication strategies that support learning

 

I use evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your child's age and needs.

 

Best for: Middle and high school students who struggle with focus, organization, or independence with schoolwork.

Speech-Language Therapy

Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC)

DTTC is a motor-based approach for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). It incorporates principles of motor learning to help a child improve movements for speech.

 

In these sessions, we work on things like:

 

  • Movement (motor planning)

  • Vowels and prosody

  • ​Efficiency of processing

  • Individualized word targets

  • Dynamic cues

  • Lots of practice

 

I use evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your child's age and needs.

 

Best for: Children ages 4 and older.

Ultrasound Biofeedback

Visual biofeedback provided by ultrasound, with the feedback and cues from the clinician, can be effective in improving persistent sound errors. A small probe emits sound waves (placed under the chin). The waves "echo" and are converted to an image. 

 

In these sessions, we work on things like:

 

  • Tongue position and tongue shape

  • Articulation of sounds such as "r," "l," "sh," "ch," and "s"

  • Individualized targets

  • Assessment of response to cues and feedback​

  • Assessment of speech sound errors

I use evidence-based approaches and tailor them to your child's age and needs.

Best for: Individuals ages 7 and older.

What a Typical Session Looks Like

Here's what you can expect:

  • Structured literacy or executive functioning work, paired with play-based or age-appropriate activities

  • A student binder that tracks progress, materials, and skills over time

  • Specific home practice ideas to support what we're working on

  • Written notes after each session, with a brief check-in as needed

  • Caregiver education and ongoing support

  • Regular progress updates

  • Collaboration with teachers, OTs, PTs, or other professionals when helpful

 

Therapy works best when it's a partnership. I'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
