My Approach
I provide services in the greater Pittsburgh area. My sessions occur in YOUR home. I can also go to your child's school or daycare.
I am the sole practitioner of my company, which means you receive services from a consistent therapist.
My sessions are typically longer, depending on your child and family's needs.
I emphasize family involvement and use home programs so that your child improves at a faster rate. I utilize a material-lending program, in which your family can borrow therapy materials to practice at home.
My practice is smaller so I am able to dedicate time to planning individualistic therapy for your child, and am available to communicate between sessions.
I listen to families and children when making decisions about therapy goals and activities.
My therapeutic approach consists of a combination of structure and play, because I believe that children learn better when they are engaged.
