Specialties

While I work with a broad range of speech and language needs, my clinical focus includes the following areas:

Early Intervention

Supporting toddlers and preschool-aged children during a pivotal period of rapid language development. Early, targeted support can create lasting impact across academic and social domains.

Speech Sound Disorders

Helping children who are difficult to understand due to sound substitutions, omissions, distortions, or phonological patterns. Therapy is systematic, individualized, and engaging.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

Providing specialized support for children with motor planning difficulties that affect speech production. I am listed as a provider in the Apraxia Kids Speech-Language Pathologist Directory, reflecting my commitment to continued learning and evidence-based practice in this area.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Supporting children with autism in developing functional communication, social interaction skills, and flexible language use. Intervention may include play-based therapy, pragmatic language development, and Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) supports when appropriate.

Receptive & Expressive Language

Strengthening comprehension, vocabulary, sentence structure, narrative skills, and overall language organization to support both academic and social success.

Stuttering

Providing individualized, supportive therapy to help children communicate more comfortably and confidently.

Pragmatic (Social) Language Skills

Helping children develop conversation skills, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and social flexibility within naturalistic contexts.
