I offer therapy and consultation services in a variety of settings, including my clinic, the client’s home, school, community environments, and via telehealth.
Consultation
After the background is collected, an initial consultation by phone will be scheduled to gather more specific information about the client’s communication and guide your next steps—whether they involve working with me or receiving recommendations to other professionals.
Assessments
I typically start with a visit to your home to observe the client in their most comfortable and natural environment. I conduct a mix of extensive of observation with parent report and non-standardized assessments and criterion-reference tests. Visits to school and other therapy settings are also available.
Therapy
Based on the findings, therapy can be conducted in individual or small group therapy sessions, in variety of settings, for a determined amount of time, in any combination of the following:
A: In-person sessions at home, my clinic, or in school
B: Telehealth sessions via Zoom
C: Local community outings, with or without the family
D: Group settings in the backyard of my home clinic.

Family Coaching
I offer a collaborative approach to helping families recognize the families’ strengths and navigate challenges. I empower families to reach their self-identified goals and improve family dynamics. I work with siblings to build stronger relationships and model strategies for the parents and extended family members. A variety of home exercises for practice are provided.
Social Groups & Summer Camps
The social communication groups are led by a skilled speech-language pathologist (often in conjunction with an occupational therapist (OT), and supported by youth assistants. Small groups meet in a natural, relaxed setting such a backyard or community park. Summer Camps and year-round groups focus on speech, language, social skills, and Myofunctional therapy.
Professional Training (In-Person, Virtual, & Video)
I offer training to help professionals understand communication disorders, identify challenges in caregiving, make appropriate referrals, and access resources for intervention programs. These sessions may qualify for continued education units (CEUs) for the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA).
A real treasure in our community
-
The kids LOVE working with her because she understands them. She believes in communication and is a master at understanding how communication is happening at all levels. She helps make connections individually for her clients and for their family members as well. Our journey with Luna has been one of the most rewarding decisions we have made for our children and for our family. I highly recommend working with her.”
