My Approach
My approach is grounded in the latest evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming strategies tailored to each individual’s unique strengths. I go beyond traditional speech therapy, integrating advanced techniques in executive function coaching, literacy based interventions, sensory & movement based strategies, gestalt language processing, and multimodal communication to foster meaningful progress. Every session is designed with a deep understanding of sensory, cognitive, and linguistic differences, ensuring a personalized, innovative, and compassionate therapy experience.

Are you a parent of an autistic individual ?
I recognize autism as a natural neurotype and a valid way of being. As a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner, I celebrate each child’s unique interests, sensory needs, and play styles while supporting their communication growth. I consider echolalia as meaningful communication, forced eye contact as neurologically overwhelming and stimming as neurological state of thriving. My goal is to advocate for, support & develop authentic, self-expressive communication, not only through verbal speech, but also using alternative methods of communication like AAC.
If this resonates with you and your parenting style, or you're interested in learning more, feel free to schedule a consultation.

Your child’s progress is my top priority, and it’s important to me that we find the right support for their unique needs. If, after our initial consultation, it seems that my approach or working style may not be the best fit for your child, I will be honest with you and suggest other professionals who may better align with your needs.
