Specialties

We offers to two distinct services: speech-​language therapy and special education advocacy. Services are offered in a variety of settings and for a variety of time frames. I will work individually with each family to decide what makes the most sense. Please contact me directly to set up a in-​person or phone consultation.

Speech-​language therapy services includes diagnostic testing and individual therapy. The best setting may be at a student’s home or their school. It is also possible to arrange to meet at a play-​space, library, playground or other settings where there are natural opportunities for language development.

Special education advocacy services include consultations, file reviews, school observations, and school meetings.

History

Established in 2014.

When I moved to Seattle in 2014, I decided to open my own practice dedicated to empowering families making educational decisions and providing direct professional intervention to children who can benefit from speech-​language therapy.
