Expert Speech Pathology Services for Children Ages 18 Months to 10 Years Old
As a solo practitioner specializing in speech pathology for children, I offer expert care for children ages 18 months to 10 years old with a wide range of speech and language disorders. My mission is to provide personalized and effective speech therapy services to help children improve their communication skills and reach their full potential. My services include speech and language evaluations, customized treatment plans, and ongoing therapy sessions designed to address each child's unique needs. I use evidence-based techniques and the latest research in speech pathology to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child. If you're looking for a caring and experienced speech pathologist to help your child overcome speech or language challenges, contact me today to schedule a consultation and learn more about my speech pathology services for children.
An evaluation allows us to develop an understanding of your child's strengths, preferences, and challenges. Each evaluation includes a parent interview, child-therapist interaction, observation, a speech/language sample, and standardized test measures. Following the evaluation, if therapy is recommended, we will develop a therapy plan and goals to address any identified areas of need.

Contact us for a free screening to determine if an evaluation is recommended.
Child-centered therapy means that each session is planned specifically for your child and is based on their preferences and goals. Using evidence-based approaches, we will engage your child in fun and motivating activities as we know children learn best when they are having fun. We love to incorporate games, toys, books, and art into our sessions, all with the purpose of achieving lasting communication success.
​
Therapy is offered in-home and online via teletherapy.
​We support children who are experiencing the following:
​
-
Speech that is difficult to understand
-
Delayed speech or language development
-
Difficulty saying certain sounds
-
Difficulty following directions or answering questions
-
Limited vocabulary
-
Difficulty putting sentences together
-
Poor grammar
-
Difficulty interacting with peers
-
Limited play skills
Parents are always invited and encouraged to be an active part of the therapy process. We take time each session to provide tips and tools for home practice. In addition to in-session coaching, we offer individual parent coaching sessions focused on teaching parents strategies to foster speech and language development at home.
Parent coaching is also an excellent therapy approach for children who are not ready for direct therapy.
