I love helping my clients develop their communication potential, while using their unique preferences, motivations and strengths. My practice also includes working on goals collectively with parents, caregivers and other important people in my clients' lives as what we work on in therapy, should be meaningful and functional for everyday life. Goal areas that I have addressed include: social interaction skills; functional communication (getting needs and wants met); comprehension; executive functioning (e.g. problem solving); play skills; higher level language skills; and speech clarity/ speech sound development. I also have experience and training to help address picky eating and mealtime participation.

  I am currently offering in-person services (e.g. in your home or your child's school) throughout southern Vancouver Island, as well as virtual services for anyone within BC or Alberta. For more information, please see my website.
