My Approach

Child-led, Play-based

I integrate your child's interests and strengths to create engaging and effective therapy sessions. Through play, I strive to foster connection with your child to build upon their communication skills in a fun and engaging way.

​

Augmentative and Alternative Communication

I have received training and gained experience in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), which includes low-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech options. AAC can build upon your child's confidence and promote independence in their communication skills. 

Bilingual Sessions

I offer bilingual therapy services in both English and Spanish to cater to the diverse needs of each child and family. This inclusive approach allows me to support children from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, providing them with the necessary tools to excel in their communication skills.

Neurodiversity Affirming

My therapy style is relationship centered and neurodiveristy affirming. I approach each child with a strengths based lens, acknowledging that all neurotypes have unique strengths and interests. 

GLP/NLA

The Gestalt Language Processing/Natural Language Acquisition framework describes the process of learning language through chunks rather than single words. I am trained in Meaningful Speech and equipped to support children who benefit from a GLP framework.

Evidence-based

I utilize evidence-based practices to inform decision-making in goal setting and therapy implementation. This approach combines professionalism with respective family values.
