Speech Language Therapy

Parent/child communication is lacking.

It’s every parent’s dream to have joyful conversations with their child.

These dreams include car ride chats talking about their day, storybooks before bedtime, and baking cookies together while sharing jokes.

It’s supposed to all happen so effortlessly. But when there’s a communication breakdown, these conversations can’t happen.

It can be emotional for parents. What to do?

Getting help is just a phone call away.

Joining forces with a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) can be an asset, a relief, and a yin to your yang.

You know your child best. Chances are, since you found my page, collaborating with an SLP is exactly what you need.

I can give strength where there are weaknesses.

Bet you didn’t know that…

…Speech and Language Therapy are two different things.

It’s often linked together as Speech-Language Therapy or simplified to Speech Therapy, but each has their own focus and methods.

To put it modestly, language is what comes out. Speech is how it comes out.

It’s about learning what and how.

I help children with speech and language needs learn to communicate with their families, their friends, and their teachers.

Using a total language approach, I work with the family to create an individualized plan of care to help the child meet their goals.

Hearing a child’s first word in the presence of their family never gets old. Parents tear up when they finally hear “I love you” from their child’s sweet voice.

I also work with older clients to help master a speech sound that previous speech therapy was never able to correct. It’s never too late to fix that error.

Give me a call. Let’s talk about it.

I’ll let you in on a little secret… I don’t have a crystal ball. If I had a nickel for every time a parent asked during our very first meeting, “I know you can’t answer this, but… how long do you think this will take?”

Sounds like they know the answer before they ask the question. And they would be correct; I cannot answer it. Speech-language therapy is a process, not a gimmick sold on an infomercial.

I’ll be there every step of the way, one goal at a time. I’ll help you enjoy the journey. With a positive outlook and family support, success is bound to happen.

Why pursue private therapy?

Many clients that I have treated over the years have come to me because their school-based speech services just weren’t working. School SLPs are amazing, but the caseloads are often very high – and therapy is typically provided in mixed groups.

Private therapy is the only way to get 100% individual therapy time, every week. We can work on the goals that are most important to you and set a plan of care. That’s the best recipe for success.

Let’s make those dreams come true.
