Through my private practice, I offer a level of personalized care and flexibility that goes beyond what traditional settings provide. Every client receives my full attention, a thorough assessment, and a treatment plan built around their specific needs and goals.

Experienced school-based SLP services, ready when you need them.

Beyond my private practice, I work directly with school districts as a contracted speech-language pathologist — providing the same clinical rigor and responsiveness in school settings. As a solo practitioner, you work with me directly, not a rotating roster of contractors.

I understand the urgency districts face when SLP positions go unfilled. I'm available for short- and long-term contracts, can step in quickly, and bring a strong understanding of IEP processes, IDEA compliance, and school-based service delivery.

Teletherapy for Schools

Fully equipped for remote service delivery, including live video therapy, asynchronous support materials, and coordination with on-site aides or paraprofessionals. A flexible solution for districts in underserved or remote areas.

IEP Evaluations & Reports

Comprehensive speech-language evaluations aligned with IDEA requirements. I conduct standardized and dynamic assessments, write thorough eligibility reports, and participate in IEP meetings — ensuring students get the services they qualify for.

Contract Therapy Services

Direct therapy services on a contracted basis, billed simply and transparently. I work within your existing systems and scheduling, and communicate proactively with special education coordinators to keep student progress on track.
