From 2001-2017 I was the Director of Speech and Language Services at Wellesley Therapeutic Services. I evaluated and treated children, adolescents and adults within a highly supportive and attentive environment. I offered evaluations and treatment options to individuals with a wide range of communication disorders. my goal is to maximize the potential of each and every client with whom I work. In order to do this I believe in an integrative approach that involves collaboration with parents, caretakers, educational teams and medical providers. Therapy is tailored to the individual needs of each client. Therapy approaches include speech and language therapy built into a play therapy model for young children, executive functioning coaching for adolescents and adults and more traditional therapy techniques. The combination of expert care within a therapeutic environment achieves results.
Specialty areas evaluated and treated include articulation/phonological disorders, language based learning disabilities, auditory processing disorders, oral motor/feeding disorders, craniofacial disorders, pediatric and adult language/cognitive disorders, phonological awareness development, reading and writing disorders, stuttering, myofunctional therapy (i.e., tongue thrust), voice disorders and autism spectrum disorders which includes autism, pervasive developmental disorder and Aspergers (both pediatric and adult). Diagnoses evaluated and treated include aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, articulation/phonological disorders, fluency disorders, voice disorders, and language delays/disorders.
