I believe that effective therapy begins with safe, trusting relationships and relies upon collaboration with the client, family, school/work team, community partners, and other professionals. Each client has a unique constellation of strengths and vulnerabilities informed by their neurotype, their community involvement, and their social relationships. I specialize in speech and language therapy for infants through young adults, and welcome clients to come exactly as they are. 

As a neurodivergent therapist practicing within a neurodivergent-affirming framework, I honor each client's sensory processing needs, social goals, communication comforts and preferences, and co-/self-regulation abilities at any given time. My approach to speech and language therapy celebrates the diversity of neurotypes in our world and honors the intersectionality each client experiences across their many identities.

​Parent / caregiver / partner education and support is a cornerstone to successful therapy, and our relational therapy plan will involve regular consultation time with the members of a client's support network. Sessions can take place at a client's home, school site, a community location, or virtually, and may support the following within an affirming framework:

• Self-regulation and executive functioning skills​

• Emotional-regulation skills

• Social communication development in alignment with an individual's neurotype, comfort, and preferences

• Early intervention communication needs (birth through preschool age)

• Articulation and/or phonological skills

• Receptive and expressive language development, inclusive of multimodal forms of communication

• Vulnerabilities related to selective mutism or other anxiety-based challenges that impact communication
