You don’t need to be a speech therapist to help your toddler talk. Let me show you how.

Hi! I’m Joanne!

I am a pediatric professional with a passion for supporting parents and caregivers of young children in the areas of play and speech-language.

A big part of what I do as a speech therapist is coach parents just like you. Speech therapy might last an hour a week, but you’re with your little one all the time! So what you do at home is important! I can show you how to encourage language and build a connection with your little one right away, using simple, research-backed tricks that fit into your everyday moments!

I’m known best for …

  • Speech and Language Development

    From coos to first words, I help you support your little one through every milestone.

  • Late Talkers / Language Emergence

    I teach you simple, research-backed strategies you can start using right away at home to support your toddler with a speech delay.

  • Play- and Routine-Based Intervention

    Speech and language development happens during everyday moments. I teach you how to turn these little moments into big milestones.

Whether you’re here because you have concerns about your child’s speech-language development, want to supplement your child’s speech therapy, or want to make sure you’re doing everything possible to encourage language at home, you’re in the right place, and I will help you learn what you need to know.

You are qualified to help your child because you are your child’s first and best teacher, you are a constant in their everyday life, you spend more time communicating and interacting with your child, and they are most comfortable communicating and interacting with you.

Here for you, all the way

I am a pediatric speech therapist with over 6 years of experience. When it comes to your child’s development, I know how to educate you and therapeutically support them.

But you ultimately make all the difference. You spend more time with your little one than I ever can, and you know them best! When you think about it, you are in the very best position to provide language intervention every day, many times a day, as you navigate your daily routines.

I know this because I’ve helped hundreds of parents like you!

The tips I share are tips I’ve successfully used with clients to encourage language.

Are we a good fit?
