Services
I specialize in play-based, action-oriented communication therapies for the kids and their families. I work with concerns around stuttering, receptive and expressive langague, social communication and emotional regulation, voice production, motor speech and speech sound disorders, anxiety and feeding. I am eclectic in my approach, drawing from work in PROMPT, Hanen, the SCERTS model, DIR and Floortime, the Play Project and the Palin PCI Approach for stuttering. I tailor my eclectic approach to the individual child, following the child’s lead and fostering
a sense of wonder, curiosity and balance.
