FAQs

I am a private pay provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, I am considered an out-of-network provider, and upon request, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

One of the benefits of private pay is that there are no restrictions on who qualifies for services or how often therapy can take place. Insurance companies often limit coverage based on specific criteria, but private therapy allows us to focus on the goals that matter most to you and your child—without those limitations.

I work with kids ages 4+ on speech clarity (like R, S, and other sound challenges) and with kids 8+ through young adulthood on social communication skills—like conversations, navigating friendships, and social interactions.

Every individual is unique, so the length of therapy varies. An initial evaluation helps me understand your child’s strengths and areas of need, allowing me to provide a general timeline for progress. Therapy is always personalized, and we’ll regularly assess progress to ensure your child is getting the support they need for as long as they need it.

Most clients attend speech therapy 1–2 times per week, depending on their individual needs and goals. Consistency is key to making progress, so I recommend weekly sessions to ensure steady improvement in speech and communication skills. During our initial evaluation, we’ll determine the best frequency to support your child’s growth.

If you or your child struggle with being understood, pronouncing certain sounds, or knowing what to say in conversations, speech therapy can help! I work with kids who need support with clear speech (like R, S, or other sound challenges) and with kids, teens, and young adults who find social interactions tricky—whether that’s starting conversations, keeping them going, or making friends. If you're unsure, I’m happy to chat and help you determine if speech therapy is the right fit. Book a free consultation call here!

Absolutely! Many of the families I work with choose to supplement school-based therapy with private speech therapy to give their child more individualized support. While school services are valuable, parents often share that their child makes faster progress with the added 1:1 attention and consistency of private therapy.

Yes! As a private speech therapist, I don’t require a doctor’s referral or insurance approval for sessions. Just because your child didn’t qualify for school-based services doesn’t mean their challenges aren’t important. If they’re struggling with clear speech or social communication, I’m here to help!

Many families I work with have experience with school-based speech therapy, where sessions are often in a group and limited to 15–30 minutes per week. In private therapy, your child gets 45 minutes of dedicated 1:1 support each week, giving them undivided attention, a strong connection with their therapist, and plenty of practice to build the skills they need to reach their goals. I also keep parents informed on what we’re working on in each session and provide tips and strategies to help you support your child at home between sessions, so progress continues beyond our time together.

I provide virtual speech therapy through a secure platform called Simple Practice. All you need is a device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone) and a stable internet connection. Before each session, you'll receive a secure link to join!

Virtual speech therapy provides the same high-quality, individualized support as in-person sessions. I’ve conducted thousands of virtual sessions, and my clients have made just as much progress as they would in the office. The strategies, activities, and level of support remain the same—only the setting is different. Many families appreciate the flexibility and convenience of virtual sessions, making it easier to fit speech therapy into their routine without compromising results!

Yes! A family member is always welcome to be present during sessions, depending on what feels most comfortable for your child. Some kids prefer to work independently, while others benefit from having a parent or caregiver nearby.

After each session, I’ll provide a summary of what we worked on, along with practical tips and strategies to support progress at home.
