Therapy Approach
My Social and Communication Model
What You Can Expect
I begin therapy exactly where your child is, using what they love and what motivates them as the foundation for learning and connection. Through careful observation and a deep understanding of social, emotional and communication development, I tailor therapy to your child's individual needs and stage of development.
Beyond our sessions, I work closely with families, educators and other professionals to create a consistent, supportive approach around your child. Above all, I want every child to feel understood, valued and free to be themselves.

Inspirations For My Practice
For over 28 years, many approaches and ideas have shaped my thinking and practice. These are some that have particularly influenced my work. I draw on them alongside my own judgement, and always tailor what I do to the child and family in front of me.
