Early Intervention
Expressive and Receptive Language
Expressive language therapy targets how to produce and use language such as expressing our wants and needs along with answering "wh" questions, using appropriate grammar, etc.
Receptive language therapy targets abilities to understand language such as understanding "wh" questions, categories, nouns, verbs, etc.
Autism and Social Skills
Therapy targets expressive/receptive language skills using spoken or alternative modes of communication (AAC). Social skills are also targeted to aid with building meaningful relationships with family, peers, and community members.
Articulation
Therapy focuses on articulation and phonological disorders. Specifically targeting how to say sounds correctly and demonstrating high intelligibility when speaking with communication partners.
Alternative Augmentative Communication (AAC)
Therapy is focused on building functional and meaningful communication skills using different modes of communication, such as speech generating devices.
Literacy
Providing services for phonological awareness skills and reading comprehension.
Gestalt Language Processing
Does your child often repeat back exactly what you say? Or, do they say phrases from their favorite TV shows or songs to communicate? This is know as Gestalt Language Processing or some may call it scripting or echolalia. Therapy for Gestalt Processors , focuses on supporting these individuals who learn language in chunks or "gestalts" rather than single words.

Benefits of Private Pay
Immediate Services!
No need for a referral from a physician to start services. You can start right away!
Avoid issues like session caps, required diagnoses, or denied coverage. Especially helpful if your child doesn’t qualify for services through insurance but still needs support.
No Insurance Limitations
Limitless Therapy and Flexible Scheduling
Have the ability to choose times and amount of services that work best for your family!
Consistency and Continuity
Work with the same therapist long-term, which builds trust and accelerates progress. No disruptions due to changes in school year, staff turnover, or insurance provider changes.
Customized, Client-Centered Therapy
Insurance often dictates the type of services covered and provided to each child - private pay allows the flexibility and limitless options for your child to be treated individualistically and holistically.
Transparency
Parents are often more involved and can be present during sessions. Therapists can offer more frequent updates, coaching, and collaboration.
My rates reflect the value, expertise, and individualized care I provide in every session. These rates also accounts for:
Professional Expertise: I am a highly trained, certified speech-language pathologist with experience working with diverse populations and complex communication needs. My ongoing professional development ensures that clients receive evidence-based, effective therapy.
Individualized Treatment: Each session is customized based on thorough assessments and tailored therapy goals. Preparation, progress tracking, and post-session documentation are included in the service—not just the time spent face-to-face.
Quality Over Quantity: I limit my caseload to ensure that every client receives focused attention and high-quality care. This helps ensure faster progress and better outcomes.
Operational Costs: The fee helps cover the costs of private practice overhead, including HIPAA-compliant software, continuing education, insurance, materials used during therapy, and commute time if applicable (in-home).
Results-Driven Care: Clients are not just paying for time—they are investing in meaningful, lasting progress in speech, language, and communication.
I strive to provide exceptional value through professional, compassionate, and results-oriented therapy that supports long-term success.
