Services
I specialize in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and work with children, teens, and young adults across a wide range of diagnoses and communication styles -including Autism, Gestalt Language Processing, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and those with other complex communication needs. There are no prerequisites for communication - I’ll meet your family exactly where you are and help you move forward from there.

Empowering Communication, Every Day
My speech therapy sessions are designed to help your child use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) confidently and independently.
I focus on:
Modeling AAC use in natural routines
Building device skills in meaningful, fun ways
Embedding AAC in real-world situations at home or out in the community (e.g., library, park, job setting)
Training caregivers, so you feel empowered to support communication between sessions
Whether your child loves legos, coloring, or video games - I’ll use their interests to make therapy engaging and effective.
The goal?
Functional, authentic communication that carries over into everyday life.
Available in home in Seattle area, and online across WA state.

Clarifying Needs, Supporting Progress
I offer two types of evaluations depending on where your child is in their journey:
Initial evaluations to help guide therapy goals and identify communication strengths
AAC evaluations for families seeking insurance-funded speech generating devices (SGDs); these often come later in the therapy process after we have explored different options
Each evaluation is comprehensive, personalized, and designed to give you clear next steps. I’ll walk you through what to expect, what devices or tools may be helpful, and how we can support growth long term.

Empowering caregivers to confidently support communication at home
AAC coaching is a virtual service designed for anyone who wants to learn more about AAC and how to support its use—not just caregivers. These coaching sessions do not include direct therapy with your child, but focus on helping you feel confident using AAC during the moments that matter most: mealtime, playtime, vacations, transitions, and beyond.
Coaching is a great fit for:
Families who are new to AAC and want to learn what it is, how to use it, and how to get started
Caregivers who want practical ideas for modeling AAC during everyday routines
Families not receiving direct therapy but seeking expert guidance
Caregivers already working with me in therapy who want extra support understanding their child’s device
Siblings, extended family members, babysitters, or other providers who want to be more involved
Therapists, coaches, managers, or employers who support individuals using AAC and want to deepen their knowledge
Coaching is always individualized to your needs. I'll focus on your goals, your routines, and your family so you feel more confident supporting communication every day.
Available online across WA state.
