    Contact me and fill out an intake form so I can best understand your family’s and child’s needs.

  • Unfortunately, not. We’re an out-of-network provider, which means you pay directly and can submit for reimbursement through your insurance. Most families receive partial reimbursement for speech therapy under their plan’s “out-of-network speech therapy” benefits. We do provide a Superbill (itemized invoice with CPT/ICD-10 codes) to streamline insurance reimbursement.

    We’re happy to help you navigate it step-by-step.

  • Play-led therapy means that learning and communication goals are built into activities your child genuinely enjoys. Instead of drills or flashcards, we use purposeful play—games, pretend scenarios, sensory activities, and hands-on exploration—to help children practice new sounds, words, and skills naturally.

    When children are engaged and having fun, their brains are more open to learning. Play-led therapy builds connection, confidence, and communication through curiosity and joy—making progress feel like play, not work.
