Offering pediatric speech and language services for children of all ages in Marietta and West Cobb.
I strive to help children communicate functionally and effectively. If your child needs speech language therapy, I will develop goals specific to his/her needs and provide individualized therapy tailored to meet those needs. I provide therapy in homes, preschools, private schools, and community sites in Marietta and West Cobb. At this time, I am only accepting self-pay clients.
Consultation services address questions about your child's speech-language development and provide you with guidance and strategies to help your child's speech-language skills.
Screenings help determine if there is a need for a more thorough speech and language evaluation. Please contact me to schedule a screening.
Comprehensive speech and language evaluations are provided to determine the need for therapy and to develop therapy goals.
Speech language therapy options include: articulation therapy, language therapy, and social communication therapy. Once a comprehensive evaluation has been completed, speech and language sessions will be provided if a need has been determined. The length and frequency of therapy sessions vary but typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, 1 to 2 times a week.

If you have concerns about your child’s speech and/or language development and want to find a speech therapist to assist you, I would love to help. I provide speech and language therapy to children of all ages in the Marietta and West Cobb areas.
