Therapeutic approach tailored to your needs

With ever expanding methodologies and techniques, selecting the right speech therapist for your particular requirements can be overwhelming. I strongly believe in offering evidence-based therapy: continuously exploring new techniques and applying methods supported by real and practical evidence of success. Establishing a space of safety and trust, I use my creativity to keep my therapeutic process interesting, motivating and beneficial for each of my patients.

My main focus areas include but are not limited to:

• Early childhood intervention
• Working with children on the autism spectrum and other language and developmental delays
• DIR®/Floortime™
• Speech, language and auditory processing therapy for school-aged children
• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

I work on speech disorders (production of sounds) and language disorders (problems understanding words or putting them together).

Speech disorders

• Fluency includes problems such as stuttering
• Articulation involves difficulty producing clear and distinct sounds
• Voice relates to issues with pitch, volume or voice quality to the extent that it distracts others from understanding what is being said
• Resonance in relation to hypernasality or hyponasality

Expressive and receptive language disorders

• Receptive disorders refer to difficulties understanding or processing language
• Expressive disorders on the other hand refer to problems with spoken and written language (difficulties putting words together, vocabulary limitations, incorrect articulation of sounds within words)
• Cognitive disorders include difficulty with skills that relate to attention, memory, problem solving and executive functioning (higher brain functioning related to goal directed activities)
• Auditory disorders in relation to speech, language, communication, and listening skills impacted by hearing loss, deafness and auditory processing
