Many of my families who come to me do not have an AAC device or only have one through the school district and want one for their personal life. I offer AAC assessments to see if your child would be a good candidate for an AAC device as well as help set up the AAC device to fit your child's unique needs. To be effective, AAC devices need to make sense to the user and personalization is key. I work with each of my families to come up with a profile that best suits the needs of their child.

Initial evaluations create a collaborative environment to understand your child’s communication strengths and needs. During the assessment, we explore a variety of speech and language areas, such as articulation, language comprehension, expressive skills, and social communication, to gain a comprehensive understanding of their abilities. I work closely with families to develop an individualized communication profile that highlights their child’s unique potential. goes here

Many of my non-speaking or minimally speaking clients may also become dysregulated. For those clients, I offer support to help with co-regulation strategies. This type of support from me looks like me giving my client a total communication approach (AAC, gestures, communication books, writing, etc.) to express how they're feeling as well as working with them to help when dysregulated.

For families seeking support in community settings, I offer community outings. During these outings, I accompany my client and their family to locations where they may experience challenges, providing assistance with communication and emotional support. Some of the places we’ve explored together include Target, Costco, Disneyland, Legoland, movie theaters, swimming pools, libraries, and other popular community destinations. My goal is to create a positive and engaging experience that helps your child feel comfortable and confident in these environments.

Do you think your child needs speech therapy, but are not exactly sure where to start? Maybe you have concerns that your child is not speaking as much as they should, but are not sure if they are just a little bit behind? Consultations with me are the perfect way to figure out what next steps are for your child. Early intervention is key and the sooner the client is able to receive services, the better outcomes they have! Click here for consultating options!

I am available for consultations with my client's school therapy team. Many parents express frustration that the school and the private SLP are not on the same page and sometimes even seem to be working against each other. By working alongside the school therapy team, my clients are able to get a cohesive speech therapy program from me that seamlessly aligns with their school goals as well.

My therapy model is centered around in-home therapy, as I believe my clients learn best in the comfort of their own home. For clients that are within 15 miles of Yorba Linda, driving fees are included. For clients outside of the 15 mile radius, please message me, and we can discuss possible rates and fees.

I partner with the parents of my clients to help them learn how to support their child in meaningful ways. This includes guiding them in using AAC devices effectively for communication and providing strategies to navigate their child's emotions during challenging moments. Together, we create a supportive environment that fosters growth and understanding.

I provide neurodiversity-affirming, play-based speech therapy tailored to the unique needs of each child. Recognizing that children thrive when they can move and engage in play, I create therapy sessions that allow them to be active and do what brings them joy. By honoring their natural preferences and strengths, I create a supportive environment where communication skills can develop organically and meaningfully.

I offer personalized therapy designed to support individuals who develop language through whole phrases rather than individual words. Having completed the "Meaningful Speech" course, I bring advanced knowledge and tailored strategies to help clients move from echolalia to spontaneous, meaningful speech. My approach focuses on understanding and nurturing each client’s unique communication style, empowering them to build functional language skills that enhance their ability to connect and communicate with the world around them.
