MY APPROACH

I provide in-home services in Allegheny County. Sessions can occur in your home, or at your child's school/daycare. Office visits are available at the clinic in Carnegie, PA. I also provide tele-therapy services in PA and NJ.

I am the sole practitioner of my company, which means you receive services from a consistent therapist. My practice is smaller, so I am able to dedicate time to planning individualistic therapy for your child.

I emphasize family involvement and use home programs so that your child improves at a faster rate. 

I listen to families and children when making decisions about therapy goals and activities. I provide neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy.

My sessions are typically longer (45 minutes), depending on your child and family's needs.
